BIO
Michael Gayle, or ‘Magic Mike’, is an award-winning children’s picture book author/ illustrator based out of Toronto, Canada.

Inspired by his own literary heroes in Robert Munsch, Raold Dahl, and Lewis Carrol, to name a few, Michael's tasteful illustration and eccentric plots have won him a growing and passionate readership throughout the English speaking World.
