Vivian Walsh is a children's book author. Her best selling book ''Olive, the Other Reindeer'' is based on her real life Jack Russell Terrier.

== Biography ==
Ms. Walsh states that when she lived in New York City, her picture book heroes, like the people around her, were all workaholics. The ''Mr. Lunch'' series begins with this line, "Mr. Lunch was very good at chasing birds, in fact he was a professional." Mr. Lunch is a hard working dog who runs a bird-chasing office. ''Monkey Business'' is about the first monkey in space. This picture book catches-up with the monkey when he is a middle-aged industrial mogul.
When Vivian Walsh moved to San Francisco her books took on the theme of a diverse community; of everyone getting along despite their differences. In the book ''Gluey'' a bunny and a snail (the fastest and slowest animals in the meadow) become housemates.
Walsh has collaborated with the illustrator J. Otto Seibold. The two have teamed up on books such as ''Penguin Dreams'', which was named a New York Times "Best Illustrated Book". ''Mr. Lunch Takes a Plane Ride'' won a Cuffie Award from Publisher's Weekly; Mr. Lunch won for most memorable character in a lead role. ''Olive, the Other Reindeer'' was a New York Times Bestseller and the movie version was nominated for an Emmy Award.
