ABOUT THE AUTHORS Paul Loram and Violette Loram are a father and daughter duo from a bilingual family in London. Surrounded by French & English children’s books there were few that taught the basics through story telling. Inspired by the Story Powered Language Learning technique pioneered by author Mark Pallis and his Lingo Dingo character, they set out to create something equally fun and engaging and so was born The Word Wizard. Meeting the highly talented illustrator and all-round wonderful human being that is Beatrice Xompero brought the project to life! With several books in the series underway, we hope you enjoy reading this first book as much as we enjoyed putting it together. x A FINAL NOTE Language resources are crucial for effective language development, making it essential for families to intentionally provide these tools to bilingual learners.
