Raymond McGrath is an award-winning animation director, animator, illustrator, designer and writer who has been working in children's television and advertising for nearly 20 years. He has completely lost count of the number of books he has illustrated, television shows he has worked on, and TV commercials he has made. But he does remember that he loves gardening, photography, music and drawing, and that he is the creator and director of the educational pre-school TV series Puzzle Inc.
He lives in the country with his wife, his daughter, two cats, and a schnauzer.
