About the authors
Gerry O’Brien has written three other books in the Bubba Begonia series, all published by the Acorn Press. He has also written two prize-winning picture books. As well, Gerry is the lyricist on three songs co-written with Tom Szczesniak and Ray Parker for Nelvana Productions in Toronto. One is featured in a Franklin The Turtle movie, another is the theme song for the children’s TV series called “Corduroy Bear” and the third is sung by Funshine Bear in the Care Bear movie Care Bears and The Journey to Joke A Lot. Gerry also has a poem entitled “Tis The Season” in Canadian poems for Canadian Kids [edited by Jen Hamilton] published by Subway Books, Vancouver. Formerly of the Argyle Shore in Prince Edward Island, he now makes his home in Kitchener, Ontario, where he lives with his wife, Loretta.

Illustrator Dale McNevin is a native of Prince Edward Island. She started drawing seriously in 1990, and has since illustrated numerous books (including The Prince Edward Island Songbook series and the Zonta Club’s Making History: PEI Women of the 20th Century). She has had several showings of her work around the Island. Particularly memorable was a cheeky T-shirt design featuring a red-headed, braided lass flinging a bikini top into the Island breeze.
Dale’s illustrations are found in many Acorn Press titles including
A Long Way from the Road, An Island Christmas Reader, And My Name Is . . . Stories From the Quilt, the Bubba Begonia series, Everything That Shines, Tales from Willowshade Farm, The True Meaning of Crumbfest, Three Tall Trees and Crosby and Me.
