Paul Morin (illustrator)

[5] In 1990, Morin's first children's books illustrations appeared in a work written by Tololwa Mollel called The Orphan Boy.

[7] Throughout the 1990s, Morin continued to illustrate children's books for authors including Joseph Bruchac, Betsy James and Alice McLerran.

[11] In 2015, Morin bought a town hall in Alton, Ontario and spent almost two years converting it into an art gallery.

[11] With his children's books illustrations in the 1990s, Morin drew pictures on the Maasai people, Abenaki, Anasazi, and Ojibway.

While illustrating, he played music he co-created that incorporated the local sounds he heard when he was completing his studies.

[15] With Fox Song, Morin practiced basket weaving and referenced The Orphan Boy by including a bracelet made by the Maasai.

[16] For The Mud Family, Morin designed a cliff in his house based on one he saw in Utah that was covered with human hand prints.

[18] Morin won the Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Illustrator's Award twice with The Orphan Boy in 1991 and The Dragon's Pearl in 1993.
