At first glance, it may not seem like Paloma, a 12 year-old prodigy, has much in common with Renee, the concierge at her upscale Parisian apartment building. However, when mysterious new tenant, Monsieur Ozu moves in Renee and Paloma begin to discover they are more alike than different, and neither is happy living among the wealthy yet vapid residents of 7, Rue de Grenelle. Barbery’s delicate prose, written in alternating voices makes this a hard book to put down.

To say thank you for attending our event, Vroman's will be handing out 20% off discount coupons that can be used on yourself and not just school.
In addition, we are pleased to be joined by representatives from the Institute for Girls’ Development.
“At the Institute for Girls' Development, we are dedicated to empowering girls as they face challenges & opportunities. For Vroman's Teachers' Night, we've selected the theme of the social world of girls. The media tells us about “mean girls,” “bullying,” “harassment” and “odd girls out.” Students tell us about conflicts, mean kids, gossip, rumors, cliques, and exclusion. What's a teacher to do? We look forward to sharing resources to add to the positive contributions you already make to your students' social & emotional growth.” (For more information on the Institute visit: www.InstituteForGirlsDevelopment.com
Please RSVP to customer service at our main store and be sure to tell us which session you will be attending. Don’t miss out on one of most popular events of the year! (626) 449-5320
