Where it all began How could a kid
have grown up with
no internet, no
on-demand TV, no
cellular phone and
be happy?

“That is when it clicked. I needed to pen my story, to share how rich and adventurous my life was in other ways. Sela Blue was born – carrying the middle name of my own daughter.”

"I am constantly inspired by the love and joy of my family and friends, who nourish my creative energy. I grew up in a small town, but it was there that I learned to see the big picture." Alisia Dale

Someone with much wisdom once said that…, It takes a village to raise a child. Well, it takes more than that to have that child come to life on paper.

Working with a talented artist is like watching flowers bloom. Everything comes to life before your eyes. Thank you Sheree for making Sela real every step of the way.

Where Sela comes to Life

Sela Blue and her family at the breakfast table

Dear Friends,

It seems as though it were not so long ago – and not that far away – I was a young girl growing up and having endless fun in the little town of Chateauguay. I loved being a kid and I believe the memories I hold so dearly are now vividly portrayed throughout the Sela Blue series. From bike rides, to playing at the park, making mud pies, performing musical acts on our front balcony, and to selling cookies to neighbours – these are just a few of the memories that make me smile when I relive them. Being able to now share those memories with you through the eyes of Sela Blue is a dream come true! Thank you for believing in Sela Blue and for sharing her story.

Xoxo Alisia Dale

Chers Amis,
Bienvenue à toutes et à tous, au cœur de ce charmant village de Châteauguay, au Québec, qui est le point de départ d’un voyage autour du monde. Cette histoire m’a offert de me souvenir de ma propre enfance, de la petite ville de Vevey, en Suisse, sur les bords du Lac Léman. J’ai toujours voyagé le pinceau à la main pour ancrer mes souvenirs et mes émotions. Le désir d’exploration et de découverte a su nous rassembler autour de ce projet coloré. C’est donc avec grand plaisir que je vous livre l’itinéraire rêvé d’une enfant aventureuse.

Sincerely, Philippe Berbier
