�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Delphine Perret is a graduate of L'Ecole des arts decoratifs in Strasbourg. An author and illustrator, Delphine has already published a dozen children's books of her own, as well as illustrating many others. Her style is simple but brilliantly effective: she can bring a whole world to life with a single line. Playing on words, sounds, senses and the unsaid, she teases the imagination of the reader with her pencil strokes, and draws them happily into a strange and very funny universe all of her own.

Anbieterinformationen

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
