Brian Fitzgerald

Brian Fitzgerald is an award-winning Irish illustrator living and working in a small harbor town, Dun Laoghaire just outside Dublin City. Once a month he meets with a group of picture book illustrators to discuss new ideas. For one meeting he was unprepared and quickly wrote down an idea the night before about a bunny going on vacation. Ten rewrites and a week spent at The Tyrone Guthrie artist retreat, courtesy of Children's Books Ireland, Bunny's story was ready to submit to the publisher. Bunny's Most Fabulous Vacation Ever! is the first book he has written and illustrated. Now it's time for a well-deserved vacation and a hot chocolate by the sea. Recent books illustrated by Brian include Be Thankful for Trees by Harriet Ziefert and Apple Pie Picnic by Alicia Duran, both from Red Comet Press. Visit Brian at www.brianfitzer.ie.
