Ingrid Chabbert was born in 1978 in southern France. She has written stories ever since she was a child, and playing with words to explain life to young readers has become her passion. Her first children's book was published in 2010, and since then she has written nearly a hundred books. Over the past several years she has increasingly turned toward comics, with her most recent work including "Elma, une vie d'ours" (Dargaud; "Elma - A Bear's Life," Europe Comics), alongside artist Léa Mazé.
