Sid Sharp: Canadian author-illustrator behind The Wolf Suit and Bog Myrtle — folk-art-flavoured, gently spooky literary picture books for ages 5–9.

Sid Sharp is a Canadian author-illustrator best known for The Wolf Suit (2022) and Bog Myrtle, picture books with a distinctive folk-art-flavoured, gently spooky visual style and quietly philosophical themes (identity, masks, swamp ecology). Sharp's style is meticulous, pattern-heavy and slightly retro-uncanny, in the European folk-art and Gothic-children's-book tradition rather than mainstream cartoon picture books. A reliable contemporary literary-picture-book maker for ages 5–9, particularly for art-led gift shelves.
