Jean-Paul Wabotaï was born in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1964. At the age of 8, he was a member of the Chem Chem Yetu choir, where he learned singing and traditional dance. At 16, he decided to travel around the African continent and, after ten years of journeying, he settled in Paris, France.
Jean-Paul is not only a musician, dancer and choreographer, but also a painter.
The illustrations for the book were created by his partner Isabel Colomer, a graphic designer and head of the Colomer Disseny i Comunicadió studio.
