Biography

Judith Hamel did her master’s studies in French language and literature at the Université de Moncton. After writing a collection of poetry, she turned to children’s literature and published her first children’s story, Modo et la lune, in 1996. In addition to completing a series of five Modo books, Judith published four more titles with Bouton d’or Acadie. This intelligent and compassionate woman died on August 21, 2005, of cancer. Thankfully, her literary work will live on, to the great delight of children and of us all!

Excerpt:

S’abreuver de soi

Ici
Je suis
Réunie

À l’extrémité de mon regard
Un point
Lumineux
Dansant
S’ouvrant à tout sourire
À toute boutade

Je m’élance jusqu’à l’ouverture étoilée
Les rites haletants des fuseaux m’imprègnent

Je m’asperge d’ondes orangées
Je roucoule

De mes veines gonflées
Battantes
Je me saoule
