Tyler Clark Burke is a Canadian artist, illustrator, designer, and writer based in Toronto, Ontario.
[1] In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Burke was also working as a freelance graphic designer and art director, photographing the cover of Peaches' debut album, The Teaches of Peaches,[2][3] and designing album art for several prominent Canadian musicians, including Jim Guthrie, Royal City,[4] and Feist.
[18] In 2017, Burke wrote and illustrated her debut children's book for Owlkids, Bill Bowerbird and the Unbearable Beak-Ache.
A review in Kirkus praised its illustrators as "rich with colors" but criticized the text ("badly forced") and plot ("underdeveloped").
It has been reviewed favorably by School Library Journal ("important... for any child experiencing the loss of a loved one…"),[20] Booklist ("insightful and thought-provoking"),[21] and Kirkus Reviews ("With sumptuous illustrations and thought-provoking verses, Burke's meditation can serve as a quiet bedtime story or a deep conversation starter").
