Comic Workshop
Create your own comic page with the writer of Sortilèges de Zora!
Bibliothèque Toni Morrison (Paris 11th)
About
Children will create the story all together with Judith Peignen, comic book writer and professor at CESAN (Higher School of Comics and Illustration in Paris). Everyone shares their idea and votes at each stage of the creation. Then, each child draws the story in their own way and leaves with a comic page.
A book signing is planned after the workshop for those who wish at the Les Parages bookstore (Paris 11).
Our take on this event
Step into the shoes of a comic book artist and let your creativity run wild alongside a professional storyteller. Children get to craft a collective narrative through collaborative brainstorming before sketching their very own pages to take home. It is the perfect recipe for a Saturday afternoon spark.

On November 18, 2026, from 14:30 to 16:30, the Toni Morrison Library in the 11th arrondissement hosts an interactive comic book workshop. Led by Judith Peignen, a professional screenwriter and teacher at the CESAN school, the event focuses on collective storytelling. Participants work together to brainstorm plot points and make creative decisions through a voting process, before drafting their individual comic pages based on the shared narrative.
This event is open to children aged 9 and older. The venue, located at 20 bis avenue Parmentier, 75011 Paris, is wheelchair accessible. While the workshop is offered free of charge, space is limited and registration is mandatory to secure a spot.
