Izabela has been a lover of books since early childhood, when she was first inspired by traditionally and beautifully illustrated European fairy tales. After emigrating from Poland to Canada with her family at the age of 7, Izabela discovered the world of animation, which further influenced her illustration style. After earning a degree in criminal forensics and pursuing a tennis career, Izabela recognized that her true passion lies in her art. Since then, she has illustrated dozens of children’s books.

Izabela is not only the illustrator, but also the author, of Ascension’s new book The Little Donkey and God’s Big Plan.

She resides in Toronto where she enjoys good books, great cinema, long walks, and cute animal videos on YouTube.
