Schneider, Marine: - Marine Schneider is a Belgian author and illustrator. Aged five, she firmly affirmed that growing up, she would make children books. Fast forward fifteen years, she started studying illustration in Ghent, where her passion for picture books was only reinforced. Her great joy is to tell, with words as well as images, simple but beautiful stories. After Life and I, I am Life and The Path, this is her fourth book at Little Gestalten.
