Mr. Nicolas Trost
After completed his studies in communication in Strasbourg, France. In 2003, he crossed the Atlantic to realize his Quebec dream in Canada. For almost a decade, he directed an artists' association and an art gallery. Then he turned to youth publishing where he collaborates again with illustrators and authors. He now splits his time between personal projects and publishing.
Ms. Janou-Eve LeGuerrier
Illustrator Janou-Eve is fascinated by light, colour, and pretty much everything she sees. Through her sometimes curious, sometimes gentle (and sometimes both at the same time) images, she hopes to capture those fleeting, singular moments of life: beautiful, fragile, and intense. Janou-Eve is now exploring new approaches with gouache.
