About The Author

The Atomic Kid is George Parker's first book, but not his last. English-born, Parker uses visual art, music, film, and humor to express his ideas. He is an award-winning designer and director of animation and motion graphics. The animation he produced parodying "Yellow Submarine" for Eric Idle's pseudo-documentary of a band called the Rutles was shown at festivals around the world and was then exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. His art has been exhibited in US galleries, museums and universities. Inspired by this story, he has also written an album of songs, sold separately, to accompany the book.
