About the author
Nicole Poirier is from Chéticamp, Nova Scotia, and resides in New Brunswick. Forever engaged with children, these stories draw from her experiences as a kindergarten teacher, a counsellor and a mother. She also created the character of Nico who tells stories and hosts meetings with children. Congé pour Sophie is her third book with Bouton d?or Acadie and is in some ways a reply to Congé pour maman.
