Sophie Guerrive was born in 1983 in Marseille and studied at the University of Aix en Provence and then at the School of Arts Decoratifs in Strasbourg. She has loved comics since she was a child, and is influenced by strips like Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes or Mafalda. Her books are usually full of adventure and tinged with absurd humour.
