Hurray for My Town!
Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 17:09 | by del4yo Do you want to spend some quality time with your favorite little one? Are you looking for a cute gift for a sweet Bday girl?
I have what you need!
Fresh from the press! I just got from Amazon: My Town!
This is the American translation of my book who was first published in France.
It is the cutest village to (easily) construct from age 4-5. I did my best paper engineering on it to make something cute, playful and creative.
Come back for more posts about My Town : I will show you how to create a village for play time, how my son transformed it for a scenery for his toy cars, how to make a mobile, and trinket boxes...All that form one inexpensive book.
I am quite proud of the result, and so happy I have a chance to share!
Order it here : My Town

Yohooo! Il est sorti! Voici la version Anglaise de mon livre, et cette fois-ci, hop, sur Amazon et chouette, encore moins cher. Vu que mon editeur Francais ne le promeut plus, je ne gagnerais probablement pas grand chose avec, mais je suis ravie de cette occasion de vous montrer toutes les activités que j'avais prévues avec ce livre. Je n'ai pas eu trop le temps l'année dernière et je le regrette. Vu qu'il est difficile a trouver je rajouterais des activités "sans le livre" pour compléter (on n'est pas des rats non plus)
Alors à bientôt pour plus de fun!

Je cherchais une idée sympa pour l'anniversaire d'une petite fille qui va avoir 5 ans... Ce message tombe à pic, je viens de commander "Mon village" !!! Merci ;-)
Je te souhaite de belles ventes !!! Il est vraiment super ce livre (je devrais peut-être faire un stock alors pour offrir plus tard ?? :D )
YAY! Thank you so much! My son (just a few months older than yours) will be very happy to receive your book this Easter. My French was far too poor for me to attempt ordering it from Amazon France. Now it is at the Book Depository - best for me to order from in Australia.
So thank you very much - for having it in English, for letting us know.
My son and I love your site, your drawings...
WOW am THRILLED to find this now available in English (it's on Amazon.co.uk too)...I pinned a picture of your amazing paper houses on Pinterest a year ago and just re-discovered it again. I am off to order it straight away, I'm having a crush on all things made from paper! GORGEOUS work Delphine, congratulations xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Je n'arrête pas de l'offrir autour de moi, et on s'est régalés à le faire.
I love your paper works! I'm an illustrator and a mother of four children...and I love too paper games! I would like to share with you my projects...you can find them in my educational blog: http://tempolibero-scuola.blogspot.it/2012/02/learning-english-paper-house.html
and some paper boxes here: http://www.gaiamarfurt.blogspot.it/
I'm trying to use paper games to teach english to my children! :D
I wish you all the best

Grandma wanted to get hold of the French version, as she's a true francophone, but deliveries to Montevideo, Uruguay, are simpler from the US than from France. Anyways... I got it today and it's the most adorable thing, though I'm bummed because I'm just realizing that I'll have to wait a couple of years to start cutting it, (daughter is only 2 1/2).
Nevermind, it's a great book and a great idea. I'll save the book for when daughter is older and I'll stock for friends :-)
Congratulations on this book, and if you ever publish another one for this town (perhaps with cars, bikes, boats, trees?) I'll get it too!
Cheers from Montevideo, Julia
J'avais commande 'Mon Village' a sa sortie pour une petite fille francaise qui a beaucoup aime, et maintenant, je vais le commande en anglais pour mes 3 garcons et leurs voitures!
En plus, de passage en France, j'ai trouve 'L'histoire de mes 3 ans' en tete de gondole chez Cultura, dans la petite ville de mes parents (je ne m'y attendais pas, ca m'a fait super plaisir!!!). Chouette cadeau pour l'anniversaire de mon petit dernier. On est tres Del4yo a la maison finalement!!! :) Vivement les futurs projets pour notre plus grand bonheur!

Ma fille l a reçu pour ses 6 ans... Et à 7 ans elle poursuit la construction du village...
