Margaux Meganck

Margaux Meganck has lived the world over, in places as far flung as Jamaica, Thailand, Japan, Italy, and The Netherlands.

Her father was with the United Nations and instilled in Margaux and her two sisters a strong sense of environmentalism, cultural sensitivity, and a thirst for adventure.

Currently Margaux spends her days dodging raindrops and drawing from her imagination in beautiful Portland, Oregon. From nannying, to early childhood art education, to children's bookshops Margaux has always worked with and around children's lit. So it came as no surprise when she started illustrating and writing for children.

She is an active member of SCBWI and has received portfolio awards from SCBWI-OR(2015) and SCBWI-WWA(2017).
