Coco Blignaut 

Although her childhood home was South Africa, and she now lives in the hills of Los Angeles, Provence stole Coco Blignaut’s heart long ago. She still remembers lavender fields, and sunflowers turned to the sky, cobblestone village streets and her tired feet from a backpacking trip in southern France. Blignaut’s second children’s book Puss in Boots in Provence, is filled with beautiful images, collages of landscapes and people’s faces. Loosely based on the original “Puss in Boots,” the main character in her version is a young woman named Victoire.
