![]() Myself, and a few family members… It began to be clear to me that being too careful and never taking risks can stop you from discovering your capabilities or talents. I never knew that one day I would be writing and illustrating books for children, but now I can’t see myself doing anything else.Ĭongratulations on the publication of Scaredy Squirrel (Kids Can Press, 2006)! What was your initial inspiration for creating this book? My teacher Michele Lemieux encouraged me to send it to Kids Can Press, and they contacted me shortly after to publish my book. My first story Leon the Chameleon came to life in an illustration class at the University of Quebec in Montreal in 1999. She describes Scaredy Squirrel as “the nutty adventure of a neurotic squirrel who faces his fears of the unknown.”Ĭould you tell us about your path to publication–any sprints or stumbles along the way? She has a college degree in graphic design and a bachelors of arts in graphic design from the Université du Québec à Montréal. But what happens when he’s suddenly forced out of his tree?! A rare funny book about fear. He’s prepared for danger with his antibacterial soap, Band-Aids, and parachuchute. Scaredy Squirrel feels safe in his nut tree–safe from germs, poison ivy, and sharks. ![]() ![]() ![]() Scaredy Squirrel by Mélanie Watt (Kids Can, 2006). ![]()
