Ian Wallace (illustrator)

Ian Wallace (illustrator)

Canadian author and illustrator Ian Wallace was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and grew up in a household of readers in which a typical winter's evening was spent listening to "The Wind in the Willows".

After graduating from public school, he moved to Toronto to attend the [http://www.ocad.on.ca Ontario College of Art] , where he received an associateship and a scholarship for a year of post-graduate studies.

Since that time he has written and illustrated several hugely successful books that have won him many awards. He is probably one of Canada's most travelled writer/illustrators, having read to over 800,000 kids across Canada, the U.S., Australia, Great Britain, and, in 2003, China.

He is published in Canada by Groundwood Books and in the United States by Roaring Brook Press. He lives in downtown Toronto with his wife Deb Wallace.

Some of his published works include:
*The Man Who Walked the Earth (2003);
*The True Story of Trapper Jack's Left Big Toe (2002);
*Duncan's Way (2000);
*A Winter's Tale (1997);
*Sarah and the People of Sand River (1996), written by W. D. Valgardson;
*The Mummer's Song (1993), written by Bud Davidge;
*Mr. Kneebone's New Digs (1991);
*The Name of the Tree: a Bantu Tale (1989), written by Celia Barker Lottridge;
