Martin Waddell is an Irish writer of children’s books. He is known best for the texts of picture books that feature anthropomorphic animals, such as the Little Bear series illustrated by Barbara Firth.
Martin Waddell has never shied from writing about difficult situations that children sometimes have to deal with. This was never more so reflected in his books 'Starry Night', 'Frankie's Story' and 'The Beat of the Drum' which addressed the difficulties, anger and grief attributed to the political troubles in Northern Ireland from a teenager's perspective.
Martin Waddell also enjoys writing about ghosts, as he says not only are they fun they can also show how the past can affect the future.
