Timothy Bush has written and illustrated five books for young readers and has illustrated several books written by others, including Eve Bunting and James Howe.
His publishing career began when he entered a “Tell-us-what-you-like-about-our-product” contest sponsored by a French paintbrush manufacturer. He was hoping for the free paintbrush they were sending to everyone who entered, but accidentally won first prize: a free trip to Paris. While he was there, the Berlin Wall happened to come down, so he traveled to Berlin to see it.
His work has won the following distinctions: International Reading Association Honor Book (James In the House of Aunt Prudence, 1993), Center for Children's Books Best Books of 1999 (Bach’s Big Adventure, 1999, text by Sallie Ketcham), CBC/IRA Children's Choice (Math Man, 2001, text by Teri Daniels). His work has frequently been offered through Children’s Book-of-the-Month Club.
His stage adaptation of his 1995 book Grunt! The Primitive Cave Boy was produced by the Tony Award-winning Denver Center Theatre Company.
Timothy was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and attended the University of Dallas on academic scholarship. He spent two years as a Fulbright Teaching Assistant in Vienna Austria, and also lived for a time in the Greek Islands. He currently resides in New York City.
