First Joys (Board Book) (ISBN-13: 9780593889350)

V?ronique Joffre is an author-illustrator from France. After ten years spent in London, she is now settled in the Basque countryside where she lives and works surrounded by nature. Animals, plants, and the cycle of the seasons are a major source of inspiration for her. She studied illustration in Paris at the ?cole Estienne and then at the Arts D?coratifs in Strasbourg, where she graduated in 2006. Cut-out paper is her main means of creation: she cuts, glues, assembles, and recomposes her images to play with shapes and colors. She also works regularly for the press and events. She has illustrated over twenty children's books and now devotes herself mainly to the production of books as an author-illustrator.
