Born in Iraq in 1968, the lovechild of Saheed Al Sahef and a western journalist named Rose O'Callaghanm, Keir spent most of his childhood playing in the minefields and learning to assemble AK-47's. "I found great solace in shooting the poor" Keir recalls. "It must have been my way of dealing with childhood fears and fantasies."
In 1984, due to huge gambling debts his father joined Saddams Regime as Minister of Information and he and his mother returned to her native Ireland. After graduating from Art & Business schools Keir moved to England where he worked for a major American fast food chain for 9 years, accumulating over 3 gold stars in his time there.
Still very interested in the arts however, he began writing illustrated short stories about his time in Iraq, drawing on his knowledge of urban warfare & weaponry. In search of a better life, he left England in 1994 and his travels took him as far as France, Norway and Poland before he finally returned to the UK 3 weeks later and settled in Northampton.
Since then Children (and adults) the world over have enjoyed the antics of his spunky one-legged Iraqi junior soccer hero, Bernard; in such tales as Bernard in Trouble, Bernard and the Smoking Gun, Bernard goes to Baghdad and Bernard meets Osama. And millions of preschoolers enjoy the wonderful adventures of Anthrax Puppy, written by Keir O'Callaghan and illustrated by Anthony Worrel-Thompson.
Keir finds that he works most effectively in the morning. "That’s the best time for me to have creative ideas and thoughts," says Keir.
He writes his books in the quiet setting of his appartment in Northampton, where from his window he can see many of the animals he puts in his stories. |
