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:

New Books for 2013!

Calling all picky eaters! My latest picture book, How Martha Saved Her Parents from Green Beans, has just been released. You have never seen such villainous green beans like those marvelously illustrated by Mark Fearing! Read more about Martha and her brave attempt to rescue her parents from a gang of dastardly vegetables here.

Coming in August, 2013 ...

Arlo's ARTrageous Adventure! The first book where I get to be both author and illustrator. When a boy gets dragged to the art museum, he has a lot more fun than he ever imagined. 50 flaps make the artwork in this interactive book spring to life.

Coming in October, 2013 ...

MOO!
One cow. One car. One word...One udderly chaotic adventure.
I have been waiting years for this book, and with Mike Wohnoutka's moo-velous illustrations,...it will finally arrive in October.
