Rébecca Dautremer was born in 1971 in Gap in the South of France (Hautes Alpes). She attended classes in the ENSAD of Paris and got a degree in graphic edition in 1995. She afterwards became a graphic editor and illustrator. A few years ago, she started to write books of her own. Now living in Paris with her husband Taï-Marc Lethanh and their three children, she also works for the press for children (Milan-Presse and Fleurus-Presse), school publishers, and in advertising.
WORK
Her picture books are very poetic, with a hint of humour. Inspired by fairy tales, she offers new and more entertaining stories, featuring Babayaga, an ogress, a funny Cyrano, and weird princesses like P?tsec and Quart de Lune. Rébecca's recipe is : warm colours and precise drawings. Her books are a real success for children between 3 and 11 years old. L'Amoureux, a story she wrote herself, is a moving tale about love and children, that was recently adapted for the stage and performed by children. It was awarded the "Prix Sorcière" (Witch Prize) in 2003.

Het boek gaat achter de schermen van al haar projecten sinds 2009 (boeken, theater, film,...) Niet enkel haar tekeningen en schetsen maar ook diverse foto's van installaties en portretten. Het is een kijkboek met de hoofdletter K. Ik heb het ondertussen al diverse keren doorbladerd en nog heb ik niet alles gezien. Het biedt een kijkje in een wereld waarvan je droomt en waar je in wilt verdwalen.
