WORK
Her picture books are very poetic, with a hint of humour.
Inspired by fairy tales, she offers new and more entertaining stories, featuring Babayaga, an ogress, a funny Cyrano, and weird princesses like P tsec and Quart de Lune. Rebecca's recipe is : warm colours and precise drawings.
Her books are a real success for children between 3 and 11 years old.
L'Amoureux, a story she wrote herself, is a moving tale about love and children, that was recently adapted for the stage and performed by children.
It was awarded the Prix Sorciere (Witch Prize) in 2003.
