Everything in this album delights us: the imaginary creatures as the sweet and abundant illustrations of Marianne Ferrer. Dreamlike.

Author Biography
MARIANNE FERRER : Born in Venezuela, Marianne Ferrer emigrated to Canada in 1998. After attending Dawson College in illustration and design, she completed her education in Graphic Design at the Université du Québec à Montréal, where she studied under Michèle Lemieux. Her style is characterized by its charm, refinement, and depth. and whimsy that is entirely her own.
VALéRIE PICARD : At the age of 12, Valérie Picard won the short story contest held in her class, with her crime fiction, The conductor’s chopsticks. While looking at her winnings: a giant eraser ‘’for big mistakes’’ and a puffy velvet Garfield sticker, she was struck by the certainty that she would, one day, become a writer. An unconditional lover of meandrous routes, she moves to Europe, studies fine arts, literature, anthropology, she participates in an archaeological dig in Peru and works in the advertising industry before veering towards publishing. She now writes, sometimes draws, drinks lots of tea and lives in Montreal with her guard dog Benjamin, a tiny Chihuahua!
