When I wrote the text of The Great Bad Wolf in my home, I wanted to talk about domestic violence and I dreamed of being published in the White Square collection at Éditions Les 400 coups I didn't know that this text would allow me to meet Nathalie Dion for whom I would like as much for her illustrative skills as for her personality, that we would become friends. I didn't know that it would be translated into English, Italian and Korean that this album on sensitive subject would travel the world. And most importantly, I didn't know that he would give me the chance to go and discuss it in a round table in California at a prestigious teachers conference organized by Groundwood Books thanks to our English-speaking publisher, National Council of Teachers of English for which our level gratitude goes to the max. So here we are The congress takes place tomorrow. Butterflies in our stomach (my English is medium level let's say... I hope I pull through without too much pain 😅... ). Yesterday we played Tourists in Los Angeles and had a wonderful day discovering amazing landscapes, learning, laughing through tears and talking about you, our lovely readers. It's hard to believe we're actually experiencing this!

😍🤩 THIS IS MY SISTER!
The one who stays! FINALLY a clear tool to show the kids! My sister Véro explains in this superb video, the different steps of creating a book, with images to support it! It is of very high quality and it complements wonderfully my animations or all your activities related to youth literature. Adults, you will learn a lot, too! Take time to pause and discuss your discoveries with your students!
Thank you Fonfon !
PS: See you at the end, end!

To explain my writing process for my series of first readings "Valerie and Me", at Fonfon here is a video of me writing in front of you, a fifth story😁! Perfect to inspire your students, to give them the desire to write their own little autobiography and then bring their story to life on the Fonfon creation workshop!

😍🤩On parle de mon livre "Le monde du livre de A à Z (et d'autres titres que j'ai très envie de lire! "(...) ce livre est parfait pour animer des ateliers en classe, car la diversité des sujets qui y sont amenés en fait une porte d’entrée vers un monde encore plus riche de découvertes!"
