Oh, no! Their picnic is ruined! Or is it?!

A rainy day in spring is the perfect time for the snail family to go out on a picnic. Carrying a basket of provisions and some toys, the snails set off under the most delightful downpour. But no sooner have they started that the clouds lift to make way for sparkling sunshine. Oh, no! Their picnic is ruined!

Fortunately, young Margaux finds a way to save the day and before long, the family is nibbling on lettuce and berries under the shelter of a lovely raspberry bush. The snails have found the perfect time to have a picnic after all!

Colorful illustrations sure to keep little ones engaged;
Promotes imagination;

After obtaining a Master's degree in History and a second one in Communication, she leaves France to settle in Montreal, where she strengthens her love of books by becoming a children's book editor. The power of stories to make children dream, laugh, and think encourages her to start writing stories herself.

A picnic in the Rain is her first picture book.
