Anne Lambelet has been illustrating and writing children’s books since before she can remember, but her first published picture book, MARIA THE MATADOR (Page Street Kids) hit shelves in February, 2019. Since then, Anne illustrated the cover images for two New York Times bestselling authors: THE ELDEST CURSES series by Cassandra Clare, and GREYSTONE SECRETS series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. She has also illustrated award-winning picture books including HOW TO BUILD AN INSECT (written by Robert Gibson, Millbrook Press, 2021) which was nominated for a 2024 German Children’s Literature Award and CLOAKED IN COURAGE (written by Beth Anderson, Calkins Creek, 2022) which was a JLG selection and a Bank Street Best Book of the Year. Anne’s debut author-illustrated graphic novel, I’M A DUMBO OCTOPUS! is forthcoming from Graphic Universe in March 2025. Anne lives in Philadelphia with her husband, Brice, her toddler, Elliot, and her exceptionally fluffy dog, Eevee.
Anne is represented by Stephanie Fretwell-Hill.
