A bilingual book in English and French Un livre bilingue en francais et en anglais There was once a park bench made of sympathetic wood and friendly iron... Il etait une fois un banc du parc concu avec du bois compatissant et du fer amical... This is the story of a park bench who wants to be friends with everyone who sits on it, and who just wants to help all of these new friends when they get into trouble. The carpenter who made the bench did not give it ears or a mouth, but with its positive energy the bench succeeds - only to find itself without a friend in its own time of need... Reminiscent of The Giving Tree, this is a story that maintains its optimism, to be read by and to your loved ones around a cup of hot chocolate or a spot of tea.
