Sophie Glasser

We first saw Sophie’s work in Le Gros Manuel in 2013. Her joyful, inventive and generous illustrations are the very image of the artist herself and her elegant handwriting accompanies her drawings, following the thread of her creative ideas.

Even before we knew each other, Sophie was kind enough to join the workshop for the new Portraits de Villes collection for kids.

She came onboard and chose her own city, Paris, unearthing the treasures big and small of our capital in a Parisian paperchase.

From the French baguette at the city’s 1,800 boulangeries, the grenadine that can be enjoyed in its countless cafes and the Jardin des Tuileries, to the pond at the Jardin de Luxembourg, the escalators that climb the Centre Georges Pompidou and the romantic statues at the Musée Rodin; like Epinal prints, Sophie’s illustrations are beloved by children and adults alike.
