Panique a Bamako avec Warren Nash

It may be early to start reading Panique a Bamako

But it's not too early to start speaking French with Warren

Or

For that matter, my son, the dad, the one with whom I've been writing texts in French

For about forever.

My daughter is still angry that I did not teach her French even though I really didn't speak it then,

Those days when I could hardly speak my native tongue, raising kids on my own

Just trying to get through the day

But this is different, Panique a Bamako can be read at leisure, like when I sat at the 

Feet of my own grandmother pretending to read, love is written in its

Own language.
