Philippe Dupasquier

Philippe Dupasquier (born September 27, 1955, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland) is an author and illustrator of children's books. '' Bill's New Frock'', which he illustrated, won the 1989 Smarties Book Prize for Ages 6-8 and was commended for the Carnegie Medal.

Biography

Dupasquier was born September 27, 1955, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland to Fernand and Christiane Dupasquier. He attended art school in Lyon, France from 1976–79, after which he became a freelance illustrator in London, England.

The detailed crowd-scenes of Dupasquier's "Busy Places" series were an inspiration for the creation of Martin Handford's popular Where's Wally? series.

Dupasquier married Sylvie Grandin on June 16, 1979, and the couple has two children: Timothy and Sophie.

Awards

Anne Fine's '' Bill's New Frock'', which Dupasquier illustrated, won the 1989 Smarties Book Prize for Ages 6-8 and was commended for the 1989 Carnegie Medal from the British Library Association. The following year, it received the Oak Tree Award from Nottinghamshire Libraries.
