Marie Caudry
Marie Caudry has lived in the Drôme region of France for the past fifteen years, and has illustrated numerous children’s books for French and foreign publishers. Most of them written by her long-time partner, Gauthier David. In her abundant drawings, she likes to sow clues that will enable young readers to explore multiple hypotheses, a constantly renewed reading, carried by a graphic and colorful research whose strangeness does not prevent tenderness. It was in this spirit that she made her first animated film, “L’Ourse et l’Oiseau”, produced by Miyu, in 2023.
