The author: Louise Vercors was an editor for many years before becoming a French teacher for adult learners of French as a Foreign Language (FLE)… and eventually returning to her first passion, this time as an author. She began writing children’s non-fiction on her favourite topics: space, history, science, and dinosaurs. Over the years, she has expanded her repertoire to cover a wide range of subjects, including prehistory, the Olympic Games, encyclopedias of questions and answers, and numerous games and quizzes. This is her first title with Kilowatt.

The illustrator: Noelia Diaz Iglesias lives and works in Brussels. A graduate in illustration from ESA Saint-Luc, she broadened her horizons by completing a training course in bakery and pastry. She also trained in bookbinding at the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Saint-Gilles and completed her studies with a Master’s degree in Comics. In 2021, she published her first book, a comic with CFC.
