Fatti Burke’s latest illustrated children’s book is picture perfect

John Burke and his daughter Fatti, an illustrator, joined forces to create Irelandopedia, the bestselling book on all things Irish. Their follow-up, Historopedia, looks to Ireland’s past.

On the face of it, John Burke, a retired primary schoolteacher from County Waterford, is a very different character to Kathi, a funky, heavily tattooed illustrator based in Dublin.
