Paddy Donnelly: - Paddy Donnelly is an Irish author & illustrator living in Belgium.
He wishes Pluto was still a planet..
The Vanishing Lake is his debut author illustrated picture book, based on a real Lake close to his childhood home in Ireland.
He creates his illustrations digitally, but loves working with a textured, painterly approach.
All of this prompted his love for nature, animals, the sea and storytelling.
He grew up on the north coast of Ireland, surrounded by mythical stories of giants, magical creatures and shape-shifting animals - all set in a stunning landscape from another time.
