Michael Parkin is an international illustrator, working with the New York Times, the New Yorke, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and others. Several years ago he decided to follow his passion for picture books, and is now celebrating publication of his endearing, kid-centric debut picture book,
Wrong Time Rooster (which he both wrote and illustrated), which was just published by Flying Eye Books (Feb., 2025) in the UK. Michael talks about his career in art and illustration, his collaboration with Flying Eye Books (Michael has two more books in the works) and shares advice with aspiring creatives ("Keep a notebook for nighttime ideas near your bed, you will forget your grand idea by the morning").
