Biography:
An excerpt from his biography from his website:
"I was born in Brussels in 1958, a Belgian mother and a Portuguese father . My childhood was punctuated by staying with my grandmother at the edge of the woods, and holidays in the sun of Portugal.
Like all children I was drawing. I've just never stopped. Very soon I am fascinated by all that can be transmitted by a small drawing. I remember Tintin albums and films of Charlie Chaplin. At home, we had no television, cinema was very impressive. Often, back home, I drew the scenes in the film that marked me. I was a very troubled child. The design has always helped me to live.
I graduate graphic communication. That's where I discovered the wonderful drawings of Saul Steinberg and Tomi Ungerer. [...]
In 1983 I began to earn my living as an illustrator .[...]
I realize many posters, cartoons, covers, drawings, pub, etc. ... just everything that I propose. I was curious. Everything interested me. Towards
91, [...] I came back to books. I started
illustrate texts but what I wanted was to tell my stories.
In 1995, released my first book (text and drawings): "The world upside down."
Since then I never stopped. Success, the children's book became my main activity.

Despite his fear through the forest and past a house inhabited by three large pigs beasts and villains Fanfan decides to take him.
Fanfan Louis confesses to his fear of going to school because of three big pigs beasts and villains.
Comment:
A story that invites reflection on intolerance, friendship, the diff erence, gratuitous violence. D.anticipation work of narrative from the coverage will be interesting to drive. It should be noted the 4th of hatching the little wolf guess, lost in pigs. Cutting the story in 7 short chapters allow young readers to enter the world of first novels while maintaining color images complement the text. Good idea.
