Drawing inspiration from his experiences as a father and uncle, Patrick infuses his work with humor and imagination, aiming to connect with young readers in meaningful and entertaining ways. Married for over a decade and a father of two young children, he cherishes the joyful chaos of family life, often finding himself as the first to volunteer for trick-or-treating or to sit at the kids' table during Thanksgiving.

 

His journey into children's poetry began with writing and drawing to entertain the children in his life, where he discovered the power of engaging young minds through entertaining poetry and whimsical illustrations.

 

Now, he is eager to share his love for children's poetry with the world. His recent publication, The Solo Balloon and Other Poems, marks a significant milestone in his journey as a children's poet and readers can expect to find a vibrant world of comics and cartoons with each poem being a playful exploration of the everyday and the extraordinary.
