Val Biro Livres
Val Biro était un auteur pour enfants, artiste et illustrateur dont les histoires naissent de l'expérience personnelle et s'étendent vers des royaumes imaginaires. Il considérait l'écriture principalement comme un moyen de faciliter ses illustrations, bien qu'il ait constaté que le récit dépassait souvent ses intentions artistiques. Chaque œuvre gestationnait pendant plusieurs mois avant d'être écrite en une seule journée intensive. Son approche distinctive mêle réalité et fantaisie, offrant aux lecteurs des récits captivants et visuellement riches.
