Biography

David LaRochelle has been creating books for young people for over thirty years. His many picture book titles include The Best Pet of AllHow Martha Saved Her Parents from Green Beans, See the Cat: Three Stories about a Dog, and Moo!

He is the recipient of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award, the Sid Fleischman Humor Award, multiple children’s choice awards, and a four-time winner of the Minnesota Book Award.

A former elementary school teacher, David still visits many classrooms around the Midwest (and world!) each year, talking with students about books, writing, and illustrating. When he is not creating new books, he loves to read, play board games, and carve unique jack‑o’-lanterns, which you can view at his website davidlarochelle.com.
