Danielle Daniel is a Canadian author and illustrator.

Daniel grew up in Greater Sudbury. She received a Bachelor of Education from Laurentian University, a Bachelor of Arts in women's studies from Ottawa University, and a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing from the University of British Columbia.[1]

Daniel started her career as an elementary school teacher.[1] She began her career as an author when she published Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox (2015), a children's picture book.[2][3][4][5] In 2016, Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox won the Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award and was a finalist for First Nation Communities Read;[6][7] the following year, it was a finalist for the Blue Spruce Award.[8] Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox was the first in a collection, followed by Sometimes I Feel Like a River (2023) and Sometimes I Feel Like an Oak (2024).[9][10][11] Since her first publication, she has written and illustrated several children's picture books. In 2022, she published her first middle grade novel, Forever Birch,[12] as well as her first adult novel, Daughters of the Deer.[13][14] In 2025, she launched the published company Mighty Village Books, which specializes in children's literature by Canadians from marginalized backgrounds, particularly in Northern Ontario.[15]

Daniel is married to Sergeant Steve Daniel. Throughout the first years of their marriage, Sergeant Daniel was often on military tours. In 2005, a parachuting accident resulted in him becoming paralyzed. Daniel has discussed her experiences of being a military wife, along with Sergeant Daniel's later accident, in her memoir, The Dependent (2017).[16][17]

As of 2026, Daniel lives with her family on Manitoulin Island.[1]
