Tune in here April 10 when the Hip Librarian's Book Blog hosts Mélanie Watt, author of the
Scaredy Squirrel series (
Kids Can Press). We'll ask Mélanie about her writing process, what she's reading, and her thoughts on book reviews. We'll post them here, and Mélanie will stop by and answer.
Mélanie Watt was born August 20th 1975. She resides in Montreal, Quebec. Her first book entitled
Leon the Chameleon was created as an art project in 1999 while enrolled in an illustration class at the University of Quebec in Montreal where she specialized in Graphic Design.
She has been illustrating and writing children’s books ever since. A few of her book titles include:
The Learning with Animals collection, Augustine, the Scaredy Squirrel series and the
Chester series.
Mélanie works simultaneously in English and French. Her books can be found around the world in many languages including Spanish, Catalan, German, Czech, Hebrew, Korean, Norwegian and Japanese.
Her most popular and award winning character Scaredy Squirrel; a neurotic little worrywart, has captured the hearts of many with its humoristic approach and cartoon style illustrations which both young and old can enjoy!
