Thierry Robberecht has two children and lives in Brussels (Belgium). He has been writing children's books since fifteen years now, often about subjects that children find difficult to talk about, e.g. secrets, death, envy and rage. He likes to create characters who feel like they don't fit in. His own childhood is an excellent source of inspiration for that. Loufane's real name is Stephanie Frippiat. She was born in 1976 and grew up in Aarlen (Belgium). For years she dreamt about making a big journey. Now that dream has become true: she now lives in Canada with her boyfriend.
