Vivian French

Vivian French is a British children’s author and storyteller whose books combine a spoken-story rhythm with humour, repetition, and close attention to how characters move and sound. Rosa Bloom’s Flower Shop builds a welcoming story around a small shop, flowers, and the social encounters that gather there. The Magic Egg offers a compact early-reading narrative, while The Magic Egg Workbook reshapes the same material through guided activities that accompany the story. Rosa Bloom’s Flower Shop gives the fuller fictional experience, with its setting and social encounters carrying the narrative. The Magic Egg suits readers looking for a shorter learning-stage text, and its workbook can extend that reading through structured practice. Together the books show French adapting her storytelling voice to both independent picture-book worlds and guided early reading.
