Le jardin invisible
by Valérie PicardContributors
Valérie Picard, author
Born in 1974, Valerie Picard loves to pretend she’s an anthropologist, and travel to foreign countries where neither French, nor English are the native languages. She draws, reads, buys way too many books (ignoring the fact that she has no more space for them), and entertains herself with online Harry Potter questionnaires in order to discover in which House the Sorting hat would place her. She enjoys taking her time, savoring a good cup of tea, laughing at her little dog Benjamin, crying at the sight of gorillas, gazing at the sky to feel infinitesimal and she loves to write.
Marianne Ferrer, illustrator
Marianne Ferrer was born in the warmth of Venezuela and emigrated to Canada in 1988. 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, delicacy and depth.
