From Bordeaux, a philosopher by training, Maxime Derouen stages in his stories, with tenderness and affection, the animal world. He works in a studio, surrounded by designers, and seeks to reconcile dreams and thought in his books. He published the “Fabulous Bestiary” (golden album in Angoulême). He released a poetic album, “Mon Jardin”, as well as an astonishing “Abecedary of imaginary animals”. He signed the album “It was for fake! », philosophical and humorous fable, and illustrated a documentary album, « Dangerous animals ». He is also passionate about fossils and has published “The Book of My Favorite Dinosaur’s Secrets”, a delirious encyclopedia on our missing friends. He has written and illustrated a short youth novel, “A heavy treasure to carry”. His latest book reveals to us in a hilarious way “How the lion became king”.
Two workshops
Maxime Derouen will travel throughout the community of municipalities from Monday 7 to Friday 11 February. About ten schools will welcome it, that is nearly 300 schoolchildren. For children who could not attend these exchanges, the author will lead two workshops on Wednesday February 9, in two media libraries.
On this occasion, Maxime Derouen will present his work as an illustrator author, before proposing the creation of a pop-up card on his favorite dinosaur. Brachiosaurus, triceratops, ankylosaurus, diplodocus, tyrannosaurus… There will be something for everyone.
