Ariol est un petit âne qui n'aime pas se lever le matin pour aller à l'école, surtout l'hiver. Dehors, il fait nuit et froid, comme dans le frigo quand la petite lumière est en panne. Mais bon, à l'école, il y a la jolie Pétula... Alors, Ariol se lève et il y va.
Emmanuel Guibert has written a great many graphic novels for readers young and old, among them the Sardine in Outer Space series and The Professor’s Daughter with Joann Sfar.
In 1994, a chance encounter with an American World War II veteran named Alan Cope marked the beginning of a deep friendship and the birth of a great biographical epic.
Another of Guibert's recent works is The Photographer. Showered with awards, translated around the world and soon to come from First Second books, it relates a Doctors Without Borders mission in 1980’s Afghanistan through the eyes of a great reporter, the late Didier Lefèvre.
Guibert lives in Paris with his wife and daughter.
