The author
Gunter Pauli (Belgium, 1956) graduated in economics and holds an MBA from INSEAD. For 4 years, he managed the company Ecover, a European manufacturer of biodegradable cleaning products. By wanting to create a “green” economy, he notes that biodegradability and recyclability do not necessarily mean sustainable development.
In 1994, he created the ZERI Foundation, a network of 3,000 scientists seeking pragmatic solutions to global problems.
In 2009 his book The Blue Economy was published, the result of his research into a new economic model that produces neither emissions nor waste, allowing job creation and social cohesion, and which does not cost more!
His book The Economics of Happiness shows the way to create innovative businesses and finally achieve health and happiness for all. For him, we must create a foundation on which future generations can rely to do better. He wants to enable children to think differently from us, and even more so to act differently.
Father of six children, it was for them that he initiated the writing of Gunter's Fables.

Annabelle Carneiro
The illustrator
Annabelle Carneiro (France, 1989), illustrator and mother of a little girl, started drawing characters as a child. With her marketing baccalaureate in hand, she joined her father's company, which is a building painter. He teaches him his techniques and entrusts him with mural fresco projects for children's rooms. She conquers the hearts of parents and children by creating worlds that take them on a journey and develop their imagination. Orders are pouring in, it’s a success!
When her daughter was born, she entered the world of children's books and strengthened her commitment to the well-being of the planet. Then she took care of little ones by working as a nursery leader for seven years. In order to fully live her passion, she decided to train in graphic design and illustration. She then started working as a freelancer to produce portraits, book models and digital drawings. Today, Annabelle likes to represent the world as she sees it, with humanity and accuracy to better understand and respect it. Illustrating Gunter's Fables is the culmination of what she wishes to offer: helping young people awaken and build the world of tomorrow.
This is to promote the philosophy ofBlue Economy and Gunter's Fables that the Blue Education publishing house was created.
Our dream is to inspire every child to become a entrepreneur of the common good, for a more peaceful and prosperous world.
Blue Education's ambitious goal is to publish Gunter's 365 Fables in numerous languages within a decade, and thus become a educational reference essential for the century to come.

The publishing house
Blue Education
Driven by a lifelong humanist vision, I sought to align my values with my profession during my studies. After training in accounting and management, I turned to humanitarian logistics in search of meaning.
I have put my skills into practice for several years in the organization of events, particularly in the field of natural health.
Then I discovered Gunter Pauli, during the organization of the Tour Super France.
The Blue Economy reconciled economics and ecology within me, and I felt compelled to support this philosophy. I then embarked on the creation of the publishing house Blue Education to distribute Gunter's Fables worldwide. An ambitious and far-reaching project, commensurate with the challenge that lies ahead in creating a better world.

Communication & Translation
As a child, I dreamed of having a large library and spent nights reading in secret. I wanted to understand the world around me and find answers to my questions.
I initially followed my parents' dream. After graduating from the Amiens Business School in 2008, I joined a recruitment agency. But no longer aligned with my values in my work, I changed course and followed my own path.
I am training in Non-Violent Communication, participating in the writing of a book on natural health and becoming the mother of a little boy. Carrying out a publishing project that links education, health and creativity, with a pedagogy that allows children to develop their full potential, is a dream come true.
From a very young age, I understood that it was through the joy of playing that I grasped the full essence of my teachers' lessons. Play would be my DNA for life! At thirty, with my technical skills acquired in various professions (graphic designer, architectural and landscape draftsman, screen printer, die maker, cutter), I retained my dreamy spirit while preparing for a decisive turning point in my life: becoming a "Salesperson in the toy industry".
Twenty years of magic followed in this profession, in order to make the magic of professionals accessible to everyone. A passion that allowed me to discover the world and myself, and to climb all the steps up to key account management.
To feel fully aligned with my values, I began to connect with the Blue Economy. Today, thanks to Gunter's Fables, I am proud to offer all my passion in service of the magic that is nature… this immense open-air laboratory of innovation that has been at our disposal for millions of years.

I am the future!
My parents, Marie-Camille and Axel created Blue Education three months after my birth (I was born on October 23, 2021). I love water and animals, and I often read the Fables in my bath. I am happy to learn English, discover animals and the secrets of nature thanks to Gunter's Fables.
