Many thanks
and a big bear hug to Nathalie & Jean for their lovely interpretation of Jingle Bells !!!
Jean, my grandson, who just turned 9 last month, started to learn English at his primary school in Toulouse. Hear him sing Jingle Bells accompanied by his mother Nathalie on her metallophone and helped by Fabien his father and Ronan his brother.
His grandfather Jean-Claude (my husband) took the photographs at Le Lann, the local garden center in Gradignan, south of Bordeaux and created this lovely video.
Wishing you all , on behalf of Scotiana, a very Merry Christmas!

About the author
Inga began illustrating while she was still at school where she had a constant and irresistible urge to liven up boring passages of Latin with cartoons, likewise physics and chemistry tests. It wasn’t until many years later, that she saw illustration as something you could do as a career. She had no formal training but she did have a good grounding in technical drawing and patience and discipline. She wrote and illustrated her first books in Australia and then returned to England. As well as writing her own books, she has illustrated several classics such as Wind in the Willows and The Secret Garden. She can’t see a time when she would want to stop making picture books – not altogether. It’s one of the most enjoyable things you can do!
