Author Biography
While spending time in the countryside during lockdown, Claire Le Men developed a passion for flowers. But the fertile imagination of this Paris-born author and illustrator soon got the better of her and, inspired by the work of Léopold Chauveau, transformed the flowers that are the pride of our gardens into endearing little monsters. If Flowers Were Little Monsters is her first book for children. She lives in Brittany.
