Melissa Pigois

While she was still a child, Melissa Pigois was already writing stories and illustrating them, binding her books herself with staples and adhesive tape. It was at this time that she created the characters Li and Lo, to the great delight of Eva, her little sister. Later, she moved on to another path, fashion design. With her diploma in hand, she started at Yves Saint Laurent, then became an assistant at Elle, then fashion editor for prestigious women's magazines, Biba, Cosmopolitan, Version Femina... Her passion for children's books never left her and in 2009, she finally decided to share her time between fashion design and creating children's books. The story doesn't end there... her very first reader, Eva Pigois Villard, who became a renowned psychiatrist for children and adolescents, brought her professional touch of advice and proofreading of Li and Lo. The circle is complete.
