Michelle Marcotte

Author, painter, book reviewer, and regulatory affairs consultant.

Michelle Marcotte is a Canadian-American author and artist, living in Western NY, half a block and half a river from Canada. After a career working for both Canadian government and industry, then consulting to American companies trying to understand Canadian regulations, then a decade leading a United Nations committee of scientists under the Montreal Protocol, she married an American and finally retired to paint and write. She has worked in or visited over 40 countries and kept her eyes open. 

As an author, she writes ambitious, entertaining stories with wisdom, leading readers to imagine their own solutions to key problems. She is the author of two picture books: Will Evie Ever Lay An Egg? and Chase That Polar Bear Out of the House. She is the co-author, with Joël Beddows, and the illustrator of a bilingual, English and French, picture book for language learners: ABC Vegetables - Abécédaire des légumes. Michelle is a professional artist who, to the exasperation of her family, rescues and restores garden gnomes for fun.
