About Erika McGannGerry Daly

GERRY DALY is a childrens author and illustrator living by the beautiful sea in Dublin. He hasnt seen any whales from his window but saw many off the coast of West Cork. His previous books include the best-selling Where Are You Puffling? and Wee Donkeys Treasure Hunt both written by Erika McGann and also published by The OBrien Press. He loves to paint birds and animals from the tiniest to the biggest of them all. Erika McGann grew up in Drogheda County Louth and now lives in Dublin. She is the author of many books including The Demon Notebook (winner of the Waverton Good Read Childrens Award) the Cass and the Bubble Street Gang series. She wrote the Where Are You Puffling? stories and Wee Donkeys Treasure Hunt (all illustrated by Gerry Daly) The Night-time Cat and the Plump Grey Mouse (illustrated by Lauren ONeill) and Standing On One Leg Is Hard (illustrated by Clive McFarland). Muireann is a children's author and performer. Although a Cork City native she spent much of her childhood in the Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht in Kerry where her father's family are from and is a proud Irish speaker. When shes not writing books dancing about on your TV screen or cooking up new shows or ideas you'll find her in the sea doodling in her sketchbook or most likely running around after her young and very energetic sons on the beaches of Tramore Co. Waterford. She hopes that this book will be the perfect excuse to fulfil a lifelong dream of getting a puppy and calling him Murphy!
