Learn About Ourea Books From the Founder

Since my earliest memory, I have had a fondness for children's books, which I have loved in all forms, from illustrations to novels, but the most exhilarating aspect of it all has been to experience children's captivation and curiosities in the midst of wonderful stories. It's this joy that I feel fortunate to share with my own preschooler, whom I'm striving to raise bilingual. 

Originally from "Ile de la Réunion" (Réunion Island), I spent the first half of my life raised in this French-speaking environment, and it was there that I was surrounded by a vast array of books to choose from. But having lived in the U.S. since then, I have come to miss the kinds of timeless stories and new releases that used to seem more easily within reach.

This is how the concept for Ourea Books came to be. Ourea Books is an online bookstore that offers a wide variety of French books for children, including illustrated books, classic stories, novels, comics, educational books, and new releases. You will find a collection of French books dedicated to beginning readers, a selection of classics to accompany those in school, and an assortment of other books for reading enjoyment. I hope this bookstore will help the children who are learning French and continue to enrich those who are already fluent. And for anyone else of all ages, I hope you will enjoy these books.

Stay tuned, and new books will be posted continuously on the Ourea Books website.
