Hervé Tullet is a multi-disciplinary artist, performer, and a renowned children’s book author with over 80 internationally acclaimed titles.

During his 30-year career, Hervé Tullet never stopped experimenting, from narrative to interactive stories, always following the same rule: every book that he conceives has to be different from the previous one.

As an editor at De Facto Editions and editor-in-chief of the journal Hors-Cadre[s], she has authored several reference works, including Lire l'album (2006) and Album[s] (2013). Since 2013, she has published novels such as La Fabrique du monde (2013), L'Incertitude de l'aube (2014), and De terre et de mer (2016), receiving multiple literary awards and nominations.
