Join us for a special storytime with French author Camille Brunel!
Having taught literature for seven years near Paris, Camille Brunel now writes essays and novels expressing his literary commitment to the animal cause. His regular stays in Scotland inspired chapters of "La Guérilla des animaux" (2018), "Éloge de la baleine" (2022) and "Je est un animal" (2024). In September 2025, he will publish "Un Phare sous l’océan", a new collaboration with Casterman following "Après nous, les animaux" and the children’s books trilogy "Nos Amis animaux".
