The launch of this 9th volume by Violette Mirgue “Mission Espace” took place on September 21, 2022, at the Cité de l’Espace in Toulouse. Journalists, bloggers, influencers and children who came in large numbers were present for this successful launch.
A tool for promoting space culture
The Cnes (National Center for Space Studies), partner of this 9th album, was represented by Cécile Fiacetti, manager of the Déclic instrument and member of Cadmos, and by Christian Planes, in charge of the “Education & Youth” activities of the management of communication from Cnes. For the Privat publishing house, it was Dominique Auzel, its director, who spoke. “After the regions and the children’s hospital, Marie-Constance sent her heroine into space, which makes perfect sense in Toulouse. […] Thanks to her talent, she managed to deal in her book with many themes, which go far beyond the space universe, ecology in particular., says Dominique Auzel, director of Privat. At Privat editions, Marie-Constance has become a kind of muse, the “super-author”: she imagines, she draws, she writes! Violette Mirgue’s albums are among her best sellers. For this 9th volume, for example, faced with the enthusiasm of booksellers, private editions have doubled the number of copies, even before the release of the book.
For Christian Planes and Cécile Fiacetti of Cnes, whose mission is to promote space culture, particularly among the youngest, Marie-Constance’s book is considered a valuable tool. […] “Beyond the adventure, Marie-Constance Mallard brings a lot of knowledge and science. This aspect allows children and parents to discuss these subjects » they specify. Hence the importance attached to this inadequate partnership.
In response to a demand from young people
Marie-Constance Mallard, specifies what was the starting point for this album: “When the previous album, “Violette Mirgue at the Children’s Hospital” came out, we would have liked to organize many activities with young readers, in particular with those who were hospitalized. Confinement in a decided otherwise. We therefore organized several video meetings. It was during these exchanges that the children asked me to send Violette into space. Space is a theme that makes you dream and brings the escape that they particularly lacked at that time. » This adventure of Violette in space that was missing from the collection is now in orbit.
In Cahors and in the Lot, many hope that Violette Mirgue will be able to be accompanied by Marie-Constance Mallard, for a stop in a few bookstores or other book sanctuaries…
