D'où viennent les jouets? / Where do Toys Come From?
Bilingual Children's Book
This bilingual French-English children’s book is perfect for kids aged 3–7 who love to imagine, draw, and create.
Through playful questions and colourful illustrations, Where Do Toys Come From? invites young readers to explore the power of imagination. The Beary friends wonder if toys come from the sky, the beach, or the forest, until they discover that the best toys come from our own ideas!
Do toys come from the mountains? The beach? The sky? Join the Beary friends as they search high and low to find out — only to learn that toys are born from something even more magical: imagination!
Written in gentle bilingual French-English text and illustrated by Mimi Cukier and Caroline Massoud, Where Do Toys Come From? encourages children to dream, draw, and create their very own inventions. Each page invites playful thinking and creativity, helping young readers understand that ideas can become anything they imagine.
Perfect for homes, preschools, and creative classrooms, this story nurtures early language learning, self-expression, and confidence through art and storytelling.
At the end of the book, children are invited to:
- Draw and colour their own toy designs
- Express creativity through shapes and colours
- Share ideas and stories inspired by their imagination
Simple, joyful, and open-ended, Where Do Toys Come From? is a beautiful reminder that creativity begins with curiosity - and that every child’s imagination is a world of possibilities.
