Purple, Green and Yellow

Robert Munsch, author of such classics as The Paper Bag Princess and Thomas' Snowsuit, is one of North America's bestselling authors of children's books. Helene 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. Helene and her family live just outside Montreal, Quebec.
