Therese Dufour;Marie-Claire Hamon;Thanh Portal;Dipa Chaudhuri

Therese Dufour must have fallen into a pot of orality (songs and traditional tales) during several lifetimes. She throws open her universe during eves, popular festivals and therapeutic storytelling workshops. Marie-Claire Hamon is a psychoanalyst and yoga instructor trained at the EFY (French School of Yoga). She works regularly with children. The two women met each other at the media centre for a workshop on ‘yoga-tales’. Seeing children so taken up by the concept, they decided to pursue this passionate adventure in schools and beyond. Thanh Portal has been an illustrator since 2012. She creates highly colourful characters for albums and novels for the youth. Dipa Chaudhuri, a publishing professional for two decades, has an M.Phil. in French Literature from Universite Paris Diderot-Paris 7. She is Chief Editor, Om Books International. She is also the co-translator of Asterix in Hindi.
