Clementine Beauvais

Clémentine Beauvais was born in Paris in 1989, but decided to cross the Channel at 17 years old to see how things are done on the other side. And she very much liked what she saw, so, since then, she’s been living in Cambridge.

As well as studying and writing children’s books, Clem is the co-host of the Kid You Not podcast on children’s literature.

She still makes funny mistakes in English sometimes, but she’s very proud that she doesn’t have a comedy French accent.
