Elise Gravel – författare

Antonio är väldigt, väldigt stark och han älskar att visa upp sin styrka. Han kan dra en buss full med människor i sitt hår och slåss mot japanska mästare. Han har också längst flätor i världen och med dem kan han göra allt möjligt spännande, kanske kommunicera med utomjordingar rentav? Stora Antonio har funnits på riktigt och kom till Kanada med båt 1946. Berättelsen om honom är nog annorlunda än något du läst förut!Elise Gravel bor i Montreal med sin familj, några katter och ett par spindlar. Redan som barn var hon duktig på att teckna. I högstadiet bad alla klasskompisar henne att rita deras drömkillar. Det gjorde att hon blev bra på att teckna muskler och håriga bröst, vilket hon fick nytta av när hon skulle teckna Stora Antonio. Hon har gett ut en lång rad böcker som är översatta till många språk.
