Baby Geniuses: Snapshots Of 7 Of Our Favorite Black Child Prodigies
Mabou Loiseau: Language Savvy Kid
At the age of five most kids are still trying to wean themselves off of nose-picking, and finally able to draft comprehensible sentences. At the same age, Mabou Loiseau spoke seven languages (French, Creole, English, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic and Russian), played six instruments (harp, clarinet, violin, drums, guitar and piano), played two sports (ice-skating and swimming) and was involved with two types of dance (tap and ballet). Mabou’s parents shelled out a whopping $1,500 a week for language courses; which is solely sponsored by her father who works 16 hour days as a parking attendant.
