Only after studying graphic design at UQAM did Josée Bisaillon make a name for herself as an illustrator. Determined and passionate, Josée is always looking for new challenges. As a member of the AIIQ, she is able to get involved and make things happen. Her unique style, a mix of collages, drawings, and digital montage, allows her to explore many facets of illustration. Her work has received many awards, notably the prize awarded by the Applied Arts Illustration Annual (in 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006), and the prize LUX (2005).

This well-crafted book would be useful as an example for a writing workshop. Others may find it equally as helpful as a means to begin discussions about emotions.
