Description

The Secret Mountain publishes books for young people. Its catalog includes some fifty works by renowned Canadian authors such as Gilles Vigneault, Félix Leclerc and Daniel Lavoie. In the past fifteen years, stories and songs in French and English have been illustrated by artists who have often been finalists in the Governor General's Literary Award (Stéphane Jorisch, Pierre Pratt, Geneviève Côté, Élise Gravel , Marie Lafrance ...).

For the production of sound recordings, the multidisciplinary publishing house has used experienced actors (such as James Hyndman, Pascale Bussières and Marcel Sabourin), and more than 250 musicians (including Richard Desjardins, Ariane Moffatt, Robert Charlebois, Louis-Jean Cormier, Carmen Campagne, Marie Jo Thério and Damien Robitaille).
