Description

We're making our fifth children's book, and it's the most Parisian one yet. In fact, there are some major changes to this one, so we decided to open the curtain and show you how we do them. 
 
Lina talks about her illustrating process and I talk about how I wrote this one - and why I changed the whole style. 
 
You can find our other four children's books in all the Anglophone bookshops of Paris, but also in le Peloton cafe, the Ile Aux Fees boutique, the Bon Marché department store, and Messy Nessy's cabinet of curiosities. Also the Louvre museum and the musée d'Orsay.

The music in this episode is from Pres Maxson, an original called Walk a Giraffe.
