Author, Georgeanne "George" Irvine

Georgeanne “George” Irvine graduated in 1977 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from San Diego State University. Growing up in San Diego, Georgeanne’s mother would bring her to the zoo where she learned about animals, which became a passion for her.  

She used this as inspiration to seek a job at the San Diego Zoo when she graduated from SDSU.   A love of storytelling paved the way for freelance writing, which she does in her spare time. George is the author of more than 20 children’s books about animals, the Zoo, and the Safari Park, including the Zoo World series published by Simon & Schuster, plus hundreds of magazine, newspaper and web articles.

She is a Benjamin Franklin Award Winner. We will be talking about her recent books, Fabulous Floyd, Karen's Heart and Ruuxa & Raina. Fabulous true stories with beautiful photos.
