Inspired by a True Story. Once upon a time there was a little French girl, “Cannelle la demoiselle”, which translates to “The Little Girl named Cinnamon”. Cannelle is based on the true story of my daughter that I started when she was 4 years old. Cannelle has grown over the years, at the same time as my daughter. Today, in 2019, my daughter is 11 years old. We still live in California, in the San Francisco bay area, in the United States. My daughter was not allowed to return to her home country, France, for 6 years. Her mom, in the book, is a journalist, her passion is writing and traveling. She wants to share with her daughter Cannelle her love for writing and her taste for travel. Cannelle will only visit a new country once a year with her mom. It is their humble participation in helping the planet: take a plane just ONCE a year! Cannelle meets “Bonbon le Chaton” (“Candy the Kitten”) in Paris, France, the first country of my first book. Both French and English in each book Paperback
