Chloé Baillargeon began her career as an illustrator in kindergarten, drawing Ninja Turtles for her friends. Over the years, she explored various professions—some as unexpected as painting a set for Annie Brocoli and framing a piece by Diane Dufresne. Motherhood rekindled her love for drawing, and the ideas for Wapi LeWapiti came to her while rocking her little ones, who were masters of bedtime resistance.
