Hélène Desputeaux has been drawing since she was a young child. Her early "canvases" were walls, floors, hands, feet, and even the end of her nose. Since then she has added books and magazines to her repertoire, though from time to time she is still fond of returning to her early practice. Hélène and her family live just outside Montreal, Quebec.

Editorial Reviews

“This grand treasury from one of the funniest storytellers around will not fail to make you giggle and chuckle.”

Family Fun

“Whether a library or a home purchase, The Munschworks Grand Treasury is an excellent buy!”

CM Reviews, 10/12

“A wonderful addition to a public, school or personal library. Readers will appreciate these familiar tales with their independent characters, zany humor, and modern settings. Extra large pictures make this a good choice for storytime, and reluctant readers may even be interested by the silliness of many of these stories.”
