Kerascoët

#1 New York Times bestselling Kerascoët is the Paris-based creative duo of Sébastien Cosset and Marie Pommepuy. Their artistic style is timeless, traditional, elegant, and handcrafted, imbued with a vibrant sense of life. Inspired by masters such as Sempe, Gyo Fujikawa, and Quentin Blake, Kerascoët creates using pencil, ink, watercolor, and Photoshop.

Their stories celebrate individuality, encouraging children to embrace their differences. With warmth and sensitivity—and never a hint of preachiness—their books inspire kindness, respect, openness, and empathy.

Among their many picture books, Kerascoët takes particular pride in Malala’s Magic Pencil, authored by Malala Yousafza, and I Walk With Vanessa. Currently, they are working on a six-volume comic book series in France as well as a feature-length film project. Looking ahead, they are equally excited about continuing to create picture books and exploring new genres.

Beyond their creative work, Sebastien and Marie enjoy time with their children and cats, indulging in ice cream, gardening, music, napping, and watching ‘80s movies.
