- Short biography
- Éric Puybaret a suivi les cours de l’Ecole nationale des Arts décoratifs de Paris où il s'est spécialisé en illustration.
Lauréat en 1999 au festival du Livre pour enfants de Bologne, il publie la même année son premier livre "Au pays de l’alphabet" chez Gauthier-Languereau. Mais c’est avec "Cache-Lune" (2002), dont il est l’auteur et l’illustrateur, que s’exprimera toute la poésie de cet artiste de talent. Cet album sera publié en 8 langues, aussi bien en Europe (Espagne, Pays Bas, Grèce), qu’en Asie (Japon, Chine, Corée).
Suivront plusieurs albums exceptionnels, traduits dans de nombreuses langues, comme "Graines de cabanes" (5 langues ouvrant sur le Brésil, l’Italie, le Portugal et la Roumanie – et toujours l’Espagne).
Outre la France, deux pays lui accordent largement le succès qu’il mérite :
- Les Etats-Unis, où il publie l’immense best-seller Puff, the Magic Dragon, sur une musique du groupe Peter Paul and Mary ; + d’1 million d’exemplaires vendus à travers le monde.
Mais aussi de nombreux autres livres à succès : Over the Rainbow, When you wish upon a star, The Nigfht before Christmas, Manfish, The story of Cousteau.
- L’Espagne, où tous ses albums majeurs sont traduits et publiés avec un énorme succès (Eric Puybaret était un des invités d’honneur de la Foire de Madrid ce mois de juin 2013, et la presse s’est montrée nombreuse et passionnée aux rencontres de presse organisées).
Il pratique également la peinture et expose régulièrement ses toiles.
Il a effectué plusieurs fois des affiches et des cartes postales pour l’Unesco, l’Unicef…

This is a modern retelling of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. This book follows the first part of the original story, falling down the rabbit hole, drinking from a bottle that makes her shrink, and meeting the blue caterpillar up until it ends with her heading down a pathway where the last illustration suggests she is about to arrive at a tea party. This children's picture book is a good example of the genre modern fantasy in the imaginary world category because the story elements defy show more natural, physical laws of our known world, is magical, and has an imaginary world. show less
“Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. Someday I’ll wish upon a star . . . .”
The Academy Award-winning song, “Over the Rainbow,” published in 1939 and immortalized by Judy Garland in “The Wizard of Oz,” was written for the film. In 2003, the American Film Institute voted the timeless tune the number one movie song of all time. In addition, the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment show more for the Arts named it the number one “Song of the Century.”
This beautiful picture book illustrates the Harold Arlen-Edgar Yipsel Harburg song that Judy Garland sang in the MGM film. It includes the seldom-heard [and not used in the film] introductory verse and an accompanying CD features songstress Judy Collins singing the song. [Two other songs, “White Choral Bells” and “I See the Moon” are also included on the CD.]
The hauntingly-beautiful illustrations, created by illustrator Eric Puybaret, are acrylic on linen. The exquisite pictures create a fantasy world perfect for the evocative tune.
This is a book for children of all ages; readers who know the words to the song will still find much to appreciate here; for those new to the song, this is a journey into a lovely fantasy world of joy and hope.
Highly recommended. show less
