Le vendredi 3 mai à 10 h 30
minutesRencontrez l'autrice Anne Renaud et profitez d'une lecture de son livre Albertine Petit-Brindamour déteste les choux de Bruxelles. Vous aurez également l'occasion de lui poser des questions et de participer à une activité de bricolage. Des instructions et une liste de matériel seront fournies en avance du programme.
Anne Renaud est l’autrice de plus de vingt-cinq œuvres jeunesse, écrites autant en français qu’en anglais. Elle est reconnue pour ses albums illustrés et ses documentaires sur l’histoire du Québec et du Canada. Ses œuvres ont remporté plusieurs prix, dont le Prix Peuplier, le Prix des libraires du Québec, et le Prix de la Fédération des écrivains du Québec pour la littérature pour enfants et jeunes adultes. De plus, ses poèmes, articles, contes et projets de bricolage paraissent régulièrement dans les magazines pour enfants. Ses lecteurs lui demandent souvent pourquoi elle écrit. Elle leur répond que c’est parce qu’elle aime faire des choses créatives, mais que, ne sachant pas bien danser, chanter, jongler ou faire des tours de magie, elle fait de son mieux pour bien écrire. Anne vit et écrit à Westmount, au Québec.
