After having written many stories for the youngest at Fleurus, Anne Lanoë signs her first novel for teenagers, Le ciel est la limite, with a writing of great finesse. Her poetic literary style had already been noticed during the Printemps des Poètes: with her group Lili Brik, she was a finalist in the 2013 edition of this great event.
Alice Dussutour, French illustrator, graphic designer and author, shares her sensitivity in joyful and colorful creations. After a degree in art direction, she developed her passion for illustration. She draws her inspiration from the little things of everyday life, her emotions, but also feminist issues. She loves the ocean and flowers, laughing a little too hard, robins and dogs wearing rain coats.
She published her first book as an author and illustrator in 2022, with Ricochet Editions.
