my walk to paris

The children's book, Henri's Walk to Paris {illustrated by designer Saul Bass and written by Leonore Klein / published in 1962 by Young Scott Books} is the story of young boy from Reboul, France, who, after reading a book about Paris, decides to pack up a lunch and head for the city:

Like many of us Henri wants to see Paris.

In Paris, there are thousands of buses. In Reboul, where Henri lives, there is only one bus.

In Paris there are many parks and rows and rows of trees. The Park in Reboul has only five trees. In Paris there are many zoos full of animals for the people to see.

And off I go to Paris for a few days!...how thankful I am. Happy Thanksgiving to all - may it be a wonderful weekend for you and your family~
