Angelique Monet
Angelique Monet's journey with poetry began at the tender age of eight, her pen weaving intricate tapestries of thought and emotion. For her, poetry is not just a means of expression—it's a cherished language, effortlessly flowing from her fingertips with every heartfelt verse. Her prose paints heartwarming narratives, brimming with meaningful adventures, resilient characters, and subtle humor. With a passion for tackling real-life issues, Angelique's stories serve as guiding lights for young minds navigating the complexities of life.
​
Becoming an artist came as a later revelation in Angelique's life. While she adores all aspects of art, it's color that truly captivates her soul. To her, color is the very essence of music and emotion in a piece. Initially daunted by the task of translating the visions in her mind onto canvas, Angelique grappled with the self-imposed barriers that often hinder artists. But with a newfound understanding came liberation—a moment of magic where she broke free from self-doubt and unleashed her creative spirit. Through her paintings, she brings to life the vibrant landscapes of her imagination.
​
When Angelique's eldest daughter found herself drowning in worries, Angelique knew she had to act. In a burst of inspiration, she penned a poem titled 'The Worriest Worrier in the Whole Wide World,' a work that later blossomed into the beloved book, 'The Bravest Worrier.' While the poem flowed effortlessly in just forty-five minutes, the journey to illustrate the story spanned one-thousand days—a testament to Angelique's unwavering commitment to her craft. Despite the inevitable moments of self-critique and doubt, she emerged triumphant, her dedication unwavering.
​
For Angelique, the gift of being both a writer and an artist is one she cherishes deeply. With boundless enthusiasm, she endeavors to share this gift with the world for years to come. As she continues to tour for 'The Bravest Worrier,' she eagerly dives into her next project, painting the vibrant hues of her second book.
