Marie-Sabine Roger

Marie-Sabine Roger was a kindergarten teacher for ten years before she decided to dedicate herself to writing. She is now a renowned children's author and has published around a hundred picture books and novels. She has received many awards and prizes in her native France and has had several novels for adults adapted for the screen.

Since she was a child, Marjolaine Leray has loved to draw. She studied applied arts at school, after which, armed only with a black and a red pencil, she scribbled her first picture book, which came out in 2009. Since then, she has written and illustrated several picture books and continues to pursue art through drawing, animation, photography, and graphic design. Visit her at marjolaineleray.com.
