Elise Gravel is an award-winning author/illustrator from Quebec. She is the winner of 2020 Governor General's Award for Children's Illustration in French, and is well-known in Quebec for her original, wacky picture books. Having completed her studies in graphic design, Elise found herself quickly swept up into the world of illustration. Her old design habits drive her to work a little text here and there into her drawings and she loves to handle the design of her assignments from start to finish. She has published more than 30 titles that have been translated into 12 languages.
