Emanuela Ntamack is an artist and children's book illustrator, and a beloved wife and mother. She is married to her Cameroonian husband, Alix, and together they have two boys. She has been drawing continuously ever since she could hold a pencil. Growing up, she studied Art and Design in school and university. After she became a mother, she discovered her love for children's book illustrations. One of the biggest satisfactions of her work is when children-including her own-are inspired by the illustrations she creates. She is thankful to God for the gift of art, and for the diversity and the beauty of Creation, which is a never-ending source of inspiration.
