I am a writer from France, currently an undergraduate student at Stanford University. I fell in love with the English language at an early age thanks to authors like Terry Pratchett or Philip Pullman.
Beauty is the only book I have written so far, and it grew up with me. I was eleven years old when I first wrote about the main character, with a small sharpened pencil on the pages of a big brown notebook. I was fascinated by the universe, and wanted to explore the same beauty that I found in both poetry and science. However, more than that, Beauty became a story about friendship, family, sacrifice and understanding.
Jacques Brel, an old French musician my parents made me listen to, sang: “A child is the last poet of a world that insists on growing up.” I was raised with Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince, and the conviction that children were superior to most adults in the way they understood the world. Now, I only hope to continue writing stories for children even as I grow up and become an adult myself.
