![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout his writing career, McBratney demonstrated a kindly mastery of words and emotion. The book became an international phenomenon. He began publishing books in the 70s while still working in education, but it was not until 1994 and the publication of Guess How Much I Love You (a charming and remarkably gentle bedtime tale that centres on ever-growing expressions of love) that he became a fulltime author. After graduating from Trinity College Dublin with a degree in modern history and political science he earned a living working as an English and history teacher. McBratney was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1943. It has been just over a month since McBratney passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love and delight. It’s been translated into more than fifty languages, has consistently been hailed as an essential book for early education teachers and has remained a firm family favourite. McBratney’s biggest hit, Guess How Much I Love You, has sold dozens of millions of copies since its release in the 90s. You may not necessarily know it, but if you’ve been anywhere neat a bookshop in the last thirty years, or have known a kid during that time, you’re probably familiar with the work of Sam McBratney. ![]()
