Dominique Jolin

Dominique Jolin was born in Chibougamau, Quebec, Canada in 1964. She is the French Canadian author of Toopy and Binoo, a popular children's television show. Toopy is a large size mouse who shares his creative imagination with his small silent cat friend, Binoo. Dominique's original books were written in French and titled Toupie et Binou.

The Toupie et Binou books were originally published in English as Washington and Deecee,[1] although the names Toopy and Binoo were retained for the television adaptation. A book published in 2001 titled Little Red Washington[2] was also published using the same cover image with brighter colors and titled Little Red Toopy[3] in 2007. Both books are published by Dominique & Friends.
