Nicolas Digard: French co-author (with Myriam Dahman) of The Wolf's Secret, The Owl Witch and Leina and the Lord of the Toadstools — lyrical, European-fairy-tale picture books for ages 5–9.

Nicolas Digard is a French author who, with co-author Myriam Dahman, has written a string of distinctive painterly picture books, The Wolf's Secret, The Owl Witch, Leina and the Lord of the Toadstools, that combine European fairy-tale atmosphere with quietly contemporary emotional themes. The Dahman-Digard partnership is lyrical, slightly melancholy, well-suited to the gift-shelf and literary-picture-book market. The books are illustrated by various artists. A reliable French-tradition picture-book author for ages 5–9 in the lyrical-fantasy register.
