Gaëlle Alméras biography
Gaëlle Alméras is a French author and illustrator who creates graphic-novel style non-fiction for children. Her work combines humour with clear scientific information, introducing complex ideas through engaging stories and illustrations.
In 2015 she began a series of popular-science comic strips which developed into the Science Adventure Club books. The first in the series, Super Space Weekend: Adventures in Astronomy, was published in English by Greystone Kids in 2023. The book follows three friends on a weekend of stargazing and explains astronomy topics such as planets, stars and constellations.
Further titles include Super Ocean Weekend: The Ultimate Underwater Adventure, which explores marine life and ecosystems in a similar graphic-novel format. Her books are aimed at readers aged seven and above and are designed to appeal both to confident and reluctant readers.
