He published his first “solo” children\u2019s book, Poil de Mammouth<\/em> at P\u00e8re Castor Flammarion in 2022. For the past 20 years, Le Goff has also been meeting with teachers in training in France and abroad to share his passion for children\u2019s literature. His works have now been translated into about 20 languages.<\/p>\n Oriane Lallemand<\/strong> is a French children\u2019s literature author.
