I am such a lucky man! I get to make my living writing and illustrating books for young people. Welcome to my website where you can read about my books, discover what I was like as a kid, and even try your hand at some of my puzzles.
What’s New with David?
Here are a few of the things I’ve been up to lately:
- Winning the Minnesota Book Award with Mike Wohnoutka for How to Apologize.
- Introducing our upcoming book, See the Ghost: Three Stories About Things You Cannot See, to the students and teachers in Becker, Minnesota.
- Finding lots of mean green beans in the media center at Glenwood Elementary.
- Receiving a sunny welcome from Debbie Tanner, the media specialist at S. D. Spady Elementary in Delray Beach, Florida.
- Finding lots of geocaches, including this one hiding under a bridge in Michigan.
- Signing books with Aimee Bissonette at Grandpa’s Barn Bookstore in Copper Harbor, Michigan.
- Meeting the world’s largest Holstein cow, Salem Sue, in Salem, North Dakota.
- Visiting the wonders of Yellowstone with my best friend Gary.
- Working on new book projects.
Mike Wohnoutka and I are happy to announce our new beginning reader, See the Dog: Three Stories About a Cat, a follow-up to our Geisel-winning book See the Cat. It has already received two starred reviews, and we are delighted!
Watch Mike give me a lesson on How to Apologize!
And don’t forget our new picture book, How to Apologize, a humorous guidebook that provides plenty of examples of how (and how not!) to say “I’m sorry.”
