Anne Villeneuve - Author/Illustrator
Anne Villeneuve loves to tell stories with her illustrations and her writing. Everywhere she goes, she studies people and animals alike and tries to capture the essence of the life surrounding her with her brushes and crayons. She never leaves home without her sketchbook, whose pages she's constantly filling with colorful renditions of everything she sees.
Anne is the author and illustrator of many children's books. Now, she's tackling the world of graphic novels for adults. Her work can also be found in magazines and websites, on pastry boxes and even in certain metro stations!
She had the honor of being the designated illustrator for the TD Summer Reading Camp in 2018.
Over the years, her books have won many awards, including the Governor General's Award for Children's Literature --- Illustration in 2000, the Prix TD de littérature canadienne pour l'enfance et la jeunesse in 2005 and 2009, the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Award in 2015 and the Quebec/Wallonia-Brussels award in 2000.
Anne lives in Montreal, Quebec.
