Séverine Vidal was born in 1969, lives in Gironde in the South of France, and has worked as a full-time writer for over ten years. A prizewinning author of children’s and young adult fiction, her debut online work, A Tale Off the Top of My Head, illustrated by Claire Fauchet (2012), was described as an "outstanding" work of "poetic writing." Kim Consigny was born in 1991 in the south of France, and qualified as an architect there in 2015, but has increasingly devoted herself since to a full-time celebrated career in illustration, including a longstanding collaboration with Séverine Vidal.
