Lapointe, Stephanie
Stephanie is a jack-of-all-trades who loves to do everything - even the dishes because she says it relaxes her. When she sings, records, plays the piano or plays characters in TV series or movies, she feels good. Even if she does not particularly like to get on a plane (especially not the little ones with doors through which the air from outside infiltrates), Stéphanie does it occasionally to go and shoot different documentary projects; his feet landed in Peru, Rwanda, Sudan, Mali and, closer to home, in Haiti. It is thanks to one of her friends (who does not have her tongue in her pocket) that Stéphanie embarked, one day, on the adventure of writing. Stephanie was still in bed on the morning of October 2016 when she learned that one of her books "Grandfather and the Moon" had just won the Governor General's Award. Today, Stéphanie lives in Montreal in an all-white and pink house she built with someone she loves. She loves to stay in her pajamas for a long time in the morning, open her computer and imagine stories.
Ferrer, Marianne
Born in Venezuela, Marianne Ferrer arrived in Canada as a child. She started drawing at the age of three and never stopped since. She works surrounded by plants and animals (her little dogs Negrita and Pancake) “because I need life around me. Her personal style has been noticed by several publishing houses. She worked for almost three years with Stephanie Lapointe to create the Franny Cloutier series.
