Life

[edit]

Diallo was born in Boundiali in 1967.[1] Although she is known for her writing in French, she taught art for a living. She has exhibited her paintings and she has won a number of awards for her writing. Her first story was published in 1998. Her stories are written in French, for young people and frequently illustrated by Diallo.[2] Diallo has written several books for young children with titles that begin "Bibi does not like..." and then titles deal with subjects like vegetables, medical treatment and football.[3]

Diallo was troubled by murders caused by intolerance in her home country. She has moved to live in Paris where she paints and illustrates.[2]
