Isabelle Arsenault: Canadian illustrator behind Jane, the Fox and Me, Cloth Lullaby and the Mile End Kids early-graphic-novels — loose, watercoloury, literary picture-book art for ages 4–10.

Isabelle Arsenault is a Canadian illustrator born in 1978 in Quebec, one of the most acclaimed contemporary picture-book illustrators in North American publishing. Best known for Jane, the Fox and Me (with Fanny Britt, Governor General's Award), Cloth Lullaby: The Woven Life of Louise Bourgeois (with Amy Novesky), and the Mile End Kids early-graphic-novel series (Colette's Lost Pet, Albert's Quiet Quest, Maya's Big Scene). Arsenault's style is loose, watercoloury, with strong design sense, closer to French-Canadian literary illustration than to US mainstream picture books. Strong giftability and adult co-reading appeal for ages 4–10.
