His more than 150 books have won numerous prizes, including the Mr. Christie Award and the Alvine-Belisle Prize. He also has nominations from IBBY Canada and the Hans Christian Andersen Prize.

After her first book was shortlisted for the Governor General's Award for Children's Literature, she dedicated herself entirely to illustration, and to giving presentations and art workshops in schools across Quebec. A flexible artist, Manon works in many media, including gouache, pencils, and paper collage. She lives in Montreal. Erin Woods has been translating children's books since 2015, and has loved them all her life.

Erin lives in Toronto, Ontario.
