Bernard Friot : A Teacher and the director of the Bureau du livre de jeunesse in Francfort . Bernard Friot now writes full time and translates German books for children into French. He has written more the 40 books for children to teenagers, and he has translated about the same number.  He works with children; he gathers their stories and is inspired by them.  He wants to make reading pleasurable for everyone, including children who find it hard. He has written short stories which are 1 to 2 pages long, packed with emotion, action and feeling, and which will be interesting even for the most reluctant!  He is reminiscent of the documentary by Pierre Carles about Pierre Bourdieu : « la sociologie est un sport de combat »
