Adèle Verlinden
A graduate of the École Estienne in 2013 and the Arts Déco de Strasbourg in 2016, Adèle Verlinden is an author and illustrator who grew up in West Africa, then in a forest south of Paris. A lover of cats and trees from the cradle, her stories are steeped in nature, magic and strong-willed heroines. With her brightly coloured gouache palette, she has produced and published several children’s books, including Mojo cherche une cachette (Les Fourmis rouges). She is a firm believer in the power of fiction to change the world and, failing that, in the power of images to escape from everyday life.
