Morgane de Cadier

Before she could write, Morgane de Cadier dictated stories to her mother about overly curious parrots and elephants setting off on a world tour. After training in drawing at Emile Cohl, an animation school in Lyon, France, Morgane chose to turn to her very first passion: telling stories. Morgane lives in Lyon.

Florian Pigé developed his passion for children's literature at Emile Cohl, the same school where Morgane de Cadier studied. Florian has received several awards, including the Landerneau Prize, a French literary prize, in 2020. Florian lives in Lyon, France.
