Beagle Becks

Beck draws upon her childhood memories to create stories that speak deeply to children. Her first characters were rooted in her years as a toymaker and in a childhood in which toys seemed truly alive. Beck studied at OCAD, York University and the University of Toronto and began her career as a toy designer. Her award-winning designs were featured in Canadian media and sold from coast to coast. Later, reading to her children, Beck was inspired by picturebooks and she began to write. Beck lives in Unionville, ON, with her two sons, her beagle Tillie and about 30 goldfish in the backyard pond.
