Paddy Boops Patrick Healy

Patrick grew up in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, and from an early age was always laughing and joking around with friends. He carried those friendships throughout high school and college athletics, many of them continuing to influence and shape his life. Some of those relationships can even be found in the work he creates today! When he was 29, he became an uncle which spawned his foray into children's literature. As years passed, he became an uncle to three beautiful nieces and soon became known as the ""silly uncle."" With no kids of his own just yet, he wanted to create a book dedicated to his nieces that was based on one of their favorite bonding traditions.
