Hello! I'm Danette. 👋🏻 I'm a Canadian children's picture book illustrator, author, and professional graphic designer with 14+ years of experience creating colourful, story-driven visuals. As both an illustrator and a published author, I understand the picture book process from both sides of the page — and how important it is to create artwork that not only looks beautiful, but truly captures the heart, humour, and emotional tone of a story. I especially love: - Colourful, whimsical illustration - Expressive characters and visual storytelling - Hand lettering (when it suits the project!) - Books with humour, imagination, heart, and personality - Collaborating closely with authors to bring their “book babies” to life Some career highlights include: - Author-illustrator of the sci-fi picture book WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE (WorthyKids / Hachette Book Group) - Illustrator of ROCK AND ROLL WOODS under the pen name Anika A Wolf (Spork / Clear Fork Publishing) - Winner of the Page Street Kids Prize for the picture book dummy CUPID'S BIG MISS (previously titled SHOOT! A LOVE STORY) I’m passionate about creating books that children want to read again and again, and helping authors bring their stories into the world in a meaningful, memorable way. Clear communication and collaboration are very important to me throughout the process. I'd love to hear about your project and see if we'd be a good creative fit!…Hello!
