Having always been drawn to the world of children, B�n�dicte Carboneill, aka Carbone, made the logical choice when it came time to decide on a profession by becoming a teacher. After joining the teaching ranks in 1995, she went on to become a principal before writing entered her life and quickly took over. Starting with publications on education (La Classe Maternelle, Jocatop/Bordas), she soon developed her own publishing house, Pas de l'�chelle, which brought together comics and education. As an editor and author, B�n�dicte began writing for young children and teenagers, including books published by various French-language publishers (Fleurus, Larousse, Mijade). In 2015, she tried her hand as a comics author with Le Pass'Temps (published by Jungle), taking on the pen name Carbone. She soon followed with La bo�te � musique (Dupuis; The Music Box, Europe Comics, Capstone), and already has multiple other series in store, which readers can look forward to discovering over the coming years. J�r�me Gillet, aka Gij�, was born in 1988 in Lubumbashi (Congo). Following his studies at the Saint-Luc Institute in Li�ge (Belgium), specializing in illustration, he moved to Luxembourg to continue his training in animation. After graduating in 2012, he started out as a freelance 2D artist before joining Zeilt Production as a computer graphics designer, and gained experience working on advertising campaigns, short films (such as Long Live New York), and animated series (Barababor, Prochain arr�t). The year 2018 marks a major evolution in his career, as Gij� turned to the comics world with the adventure series La bo�te � musique (Dupuis; The Music Box, Europe Comics, Capstone), written by Carbone.
