Carine was a creative writing literature teacher in Switzerland and has led numerous writing courses and workshops over the years. She has always tried to develop and encourage good writing and reading habits by playing and having fun with words, with their sound, shape or meaning.

She now lives in San Francisco where she is on staff as a storyteller in French and English in the most inspiring children’s bookstore.

She likes to introduce creativity in the children’s books that she writes. Each countdown book features a different literary game or activity that she hopes both children and grown-ups will enjoy.

Above all, as a mother of three, she has fun anticipating big and small moments in life.
