About the Author
Little Pim was created by Julia Pimsleur Levine, a mom who grew up bilingual and was looking for fun ways to introduce her young son to the French language. When she discovered there were no high-quality videos or DVDs for teaching toddlers a foreign language, she decided to create them herselfand#8212;something for which she was uniquely qualified as a filmmaker, language teacher, and mother. Julia was inspired in part by having grown up in the language-teaching business. Her father, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, created one of the most popular and acclaimed audio language-teaching methods for adults. Creating Little Pim was her way of carrying on the family tradition of raising bilingual kids and sharing a love of learning with other families.
