Belinda Chavremootoo is a bilingual storyteller inspired by the quiet wisdom of her two real-life cats-Midnight, a clever black cat, and Tiger, a playful tabby with big opinions. Their curious, cozy lives sparked the idea behind Il fait froid dehors! / It's Cold Outside!, Belinda's first children's book. She writes stories to help children feel brave, loved, and seen-in every language. When she's not writing, she's likely surrounded by books, tea, and a healthy amount of cat hair.
