With these texts, I studied and compared the way of telling the same story,&nbsp;while&nbsp;taking into account the age of the characters and the readers for whom it is intended. For the character of Catherine, the big sister, I used the diary form for the first time. This allowed me to highlight the&nbsp;raw&nbsp;emotions of the teenager who, in addition to losing her brother, is mourning a friendship. In this novel, I also give&nbsp;a voice&nbsp;to Lucie, the driver, devoured by guilt. For&nbsp;M\u00e9lodie, eight years old, I used an &#8220;I&#8221; narrative. The girl reveals her thoughts and questions. Her friend Zak will help her understand that her brother will always be in her heart. Little by little, in each of the texts, hope will return.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I&nbsp;dedicated my life to creation. It is where I am. Every day, I observe and question myself about life and the future. I expose what makes me tremble, rejoice or&nbsp;sad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I write for all ages: albums, poems, novels and short stories. Each project is a challenge because each is built to explore less traditional methods of storytelling. Lately, I have been particularly interested in writing for teenagers. I deal with subjects&nbsp;related to&nbsp;what they experience, to what we all experience as human beings. I believe that my texts can accompany them on their journey by pushing their reflection on what they feel and on our world. I trust them,&nbsp;I trust&nbsp;their intelligence and their commitment.&nbsp;<em>Comme un soleil ardent<\/em>&nbsp;(Souli\u00e8res&nbsp;\u00e9diteur, 2020,&nbsp;category A Creation grant&nbsp;in 2017) highlights the achievements of Laurent, a thirteen-year-old giant who wants to embellish his neighborhood. He will invite his comrades into this beautiful dream.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is always a great pleasure for me to interact with young people on my school tours across Canada. I remember magical encounters where their questions forced me to reposition myself in relation to my opinions. Seeing them move,&nbsp;react, I knew that I had touched them. While writing is a difficult and solitary job, their reactions prove to me that I do&nbsp;not spend all those hours in front of my computer,&nbsp;wracking my brain&nbsp;in vain. Young people nourish my work. I hope that my texts&nbsp;help&nbsp;shed some light on our world.&nbsp;Over the years, I have addressed many themes.&nbsp;In&nbsp;<em>O\u00f9 est ma maison<\/em>?&nbsp;(\u00c9ditions du soleil de minuit, 2019), I talk about immigration and&nbsp;integration.&nbsp;I feature a boy of Haitian origin born in Canada, an adopted Colombian and a Syrian refugee. Each has a moving story. A friendship is born between them.&nbsp;&nbsp;I wrote this book with the help of a Creation grant (category A). This novel was a finalist&nbsp;for&nbsp;the <a href=\"http:\/\/ggbooks.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Governor General\u2019s Literary Awards<\/a>&nbsp;(GG) in 2019 in the young&#8217;s people litterature (text) category.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bourget-couverture-ados-anglais-artsnb-blogue-rectangle-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bourget-couverture-ados-anglais-artsnb-blogue-rectangle-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bourget-couverture-ados-anglais-artsnb-blogue-rectangle-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bourget-couverture-ados-anglais-artsnb-blogue-rectangle-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bourget-couverture-ados-anglais-artsnb-blogue-rectangle-1536x1050.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Bourget-couverture-ados-anglais-artsnb-blogue-rectangle-2048x1401.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&nbsp;dedicated my life to creation. It is where I am. Every day, I observe and question myself about life and the future. I expose what makes me tremble, rejoice or&nbsp;sad. I speak out hoping to touch hearts. I follow my&nbsp;instinct, my own path. I don&#8217;t hesitate to go outside my comfort zone. This is how I agreed to write&nbsp;<em>Felix&nbsp;et le&nbsp;tr\u00e9sor&nbsp;de&nbsp;Morg\u00e4a<\/em>&nbsp;(Bayard, 2020). This novel is the adaptation of an animated film created in Quebec by Productions&nbsp;10e avenue.&nbsp;It is the&nbsp;publishing house&nbsp;that&nbsp;contacted me for this project in March 2020. The film will be in theatres in 2021. I also wrote my first horror novel,&nbsp;<em>Des&nbsp;sorciers&nbsp;comme&nbsp;voisins<\/em>&nbsp;(Souli\u00e8res&nbsp;\u00e9diteur, 2022). Two publications are planned at Qu\u00e9bec&nbsp;Am\u00e9rique:&nbsp;<em>Belle&nbsp;famille, Malik!<\/em>&nbsp;(2021) and&nbsp;<em>Au&nbsp;chaud&nbsp;dans mon&nbsp;c\u0153ur<\/em>&nbsp;(2022), one of the two novels&nbsp;was&nbsp;written thanks to&nbsp;a grant from&nbsp;artsnb. These last two books will be illustrated in color.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my head, ideas swirl and clash. What should I focus on for my next books? I will always want to talk about the beauty of the world. I would&nbsp;really&nbsp;like my words to encourage readers to protect our planet! This is undoubtedly my tiny contribution here below, with the garden that my spouse and I have created. A garden where I observe life, a source of inspiration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jardin-premi\u00e8re-gel\u00e9e-19-sept-2020-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jardin-premi\u00e8re-gel\u00e9e-19-sept-2020-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jardin-premi\u00e8re-gel\u00e9e-19-sept-2020-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jardin-premi\u00e8re-gel\u00e9e-19-sept-2020-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jardin-premi\u00e8re-gel\u00e9e-19-sept-2020-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jardin-premi\u00e8re-gel\u00e9e-19-sept-2020.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/\u00c9dith-miscanthus-automne-2020-soleil-ardent-cadr\u00e9-1-1024x713.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/\u00c9dith-miscanthus-automne-2020-soleil-ardent-cadr\u00e9-1-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/\u00c9dith-miscanthus-automne-2020-soleil-ardent-cadr\u00e9-1-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/\u00c9dith-miscanthus-automne-2020-soleil-ardent-cadr\u00e9-1-768x535.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/\u00c9dith-miscanthus-automne-2020-soleil-ardent-cadr\u00e9-1-1536x1070.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/\u00c9dith-miscanthus-automne-2020-soleil-ardent-cadr\u00e9-1.jpg 2018w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo Credit: Martin Dub\u00e9<\/em><br><strong><br><\/strong><span style=\"color:#48494a\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Effervescent artist, \u00c9dith Bourget was born in L\u00e9vis (Quebec, Canada).
