He has brought pleasure and wonder to several generations of children through his exceptional creativity and many talents. An author, educator, actor and at times a magician, he particularly distinguished himself in producing the scripts and dialogues for Bobino, the famous and longest-running Canadian children's television program. We are also indebted to him for educational books and records, and he is the author of many other television scripts including those for the Nic et Pic series, which has been translated and aired around the globe. Still active, but without his famous flour firecrackers, he leads writing workshops in schools and shares his skills with teachers.
