Disco and Me is a French and English story about a boy whose wish to discover Québec comes true when he meets Disco, a black Labrador. The boy follows Disco on a magical journey to stunning landmarks and wintertime spectacles in Quebec City, and finally a sugar shack (Cabane à Sucre). This story emphasizes the unique and enchanting qualities of Quebec's landscape and culture, and how the French language is alive and is both a part and an expression of Quebecois culture.
Katrina has been the French teacher at Tremont Consolidated School for the past 17 years, and also formerly taught at the Cranberry Isles Schools for 13 years. She created this book because, as a French teacher, she saw a need for novice to intermediate level French children's books that integrate culture.
