About the Illustrator
My name
is Kristi Delage, and I was very pleased to be the one who could bring Xavier,
the camel, to life on the pages of “A Camel’s Story”.
Ever
since I could remember, I have spent many hours drawing and coloring. I truly believe that through the inspiration
of my mother and my sister, God has given me the gift of
illustration. Jesus has been in my heart
and my savior since I was eight years old.
I am the
wife of a small town family physician, Dr. Bryan Delage; and I am the mother of
three children: Kayla, Ryan and
Jennifer. Living with my family, our
dog, cat, beta fish and our three horses gives me plenty of artistic
inspiration.
I am a
full time “stay-at-home mom”, however, I do have a four year college degree in
Biology and Chemistry from the
I
truly enjoy drawing and painting, mostly as a hobby, but I have worked in a
printing shop in my home town as a designer.
I have done numerous portraits for friends and family, designed
brochures, flyers, displays, and a community bulletin board. I have also
illustrated a children’s book written by my mother, Judy Nichols.
I hope
Xavier’s journey to the Christ child will touch your heart, and help you, no
matter what your age, to discover how much love God has for you. His love for you is unconditional, just as
Xavier discovered, and I am sure this unique Christmas tale will be an
unforgettable, life-changing adventure for you!
Blessings and happy hours of reading!
