Middle-class Paulette

Born the July 20th 1951 with Winnipeg with the Manitoba, Paulette Bourgeois is a Canadian author.

It is very young when it reveals its qualities of writer. Its youth, it passes it the nose lined in its books and it is of this taste for the reading that it developed its taste for the writing.

Paulette truly became famous by telling the stories of Benjamin, a tortoise which, with the wire of its adventures, discovers the world and the people who surround it and who, gradually forges her own character. Paulette Bourgeois publishes its first book in 1986; the first adventure of Benjamin. This one is entitled Benjamin and the night and tells how Benjamin manages to overcome his fear of the black.

Of curious nature, Paulette likes to make research and works with eagerness to polish its stories. Its inspiration for the stories of Benjamin, it draws it mainly from its memories of childhood. But it also happens that ideas come to him while listening to conversations, by reading newspapers, books, magazines or even by listening to music.

Paulette lives today in Toronto, in Ontario.

The adventures of Benjamin are known and appreciated of all. They were translated in 21 languages and its books were sold with more than 30 million specimens throughout the world!

Let us not forget to mention in the passage that Benjamin and the St. Valentine's day gained the third position with the prize list Communication-Youth of the books for the young people, for the year 1999-2000.
