About the Author: Yseult Pierre
After studying Fine Arts at Université du Québec à Montréal, Yseult Pierre worked as an illustrator of children's school books. Guided by her passion for all things living, she created and published Bilijou in French. This was 30 years ago, when green was just a color, not yet an attitude.

Yseult then turned to jewelry design and creation, where she could celebrate her love of colour in three-dimensional form.

In Bilijou, her palette of colours reflects the vibrancy of her love for all living things. This book expresses her hope that the next generation will care for our planet better than we have.
Nicholas lives on a planet where everything is grey. Grey hills, grey grass, grey trees, grey sky. Grey is all he knows. One day, following his heart, he is moved to dance by the sight of the flowers swaying in the wind. Suddenly, colours come alive all around him -- and a magical new friend appears... A Bilijou has come to show Nicholas that his planet can be so much more than grey. It can be dazzling! But how?

Follow Nicholas on his adventure of discovery, as Bilijou takes him on a visit to the planet Bilirose ...
