About the authors
Céline Claire was born in France, near a fir forest in the Vosges department. She used to read so many stories to her elementary school pupils that it made her want to write her own. Ten years and over 30 books later, she still has many more ideas.
Marie Lafrance est née à Québec. Après des études en graphisme et un long séjour aux États-Unis, elle décide de se consacrer à l'illustration. Ses œuvres lui ont valu des nominations au prix du Gouverneur général et elle a remporté le Prix Ruth et Sylvia Schwartz de littérature jeunesse pour le livre Une poule pour Izzy Pippik qu'elle a illustré. Marie vit à Montréal.

Marie lives in Montreal, Quebec.
