Michel Bourque grew up in Cocagne, New Brunswick and lives in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. He has written English and French adaptations of children's books like A Blue so Blue (Jean Francois Dumont, Prix Saint-Exupery) and Les vacances de Claire (Maxine Trottier and Rajka Kupesic, Mr. Christie's Book Award). Michel is one of the lucky few who caught Gracie Finley and Glenda Landry's brilliant performances as Anne and Diana in the musical staging of the classic novel.
