Children’s and young adult literature
The originality and appeal of Québec literature is definitely also evident in its children's and young adult literature industry, which includes everything from illustrated books for small children to novels for teenagers. Many authors have also made the jump from general literature to children's and young adult literature, where they encounter a large, enthusiastic audience. Some become true stars who gain dedicated readers. Some of these authors include:
- Bryan Perro
- Dominique Demers
- India Desjardins
- Gilles Tibo
- Denis Côté
- Anique Poitras
- Roger Paré
- Marianne Dubuc
- Annie Groovie
- Camille Bouchard
A whole host of illustrators have made careers for themselves both here and abroad, especially thanks to agencies such as Anna Goodson or Collagène, which promote them to the media, publishers and other organizations.
Still in the world of visual literature, comic books have noticeably grown in popularity and their readers are not just limited to young people. Publishing houses such as La Pastèque and Mécanique générale and authors such as Michel Rabagliati, Pascal Girard and Francis Desharnais are some shining examples of this world.
