In case you stumbled on to this site thinking you were going to learn about a purple dinosaur, your should probably know that I am a children’s book author/illustrator/singer/songwriter. I was born in Los Angeles. For some reason, I still live here! I have two children who grew up and are in college so now it’s my wife and I along with two sweet dogs and a pond full of fish.
I have published around thirty books. I also have recorded four CD’s of music for children. A while back I wrote songs that were on the PBS show Arthur. Once a year I teach a class at UCLA on writing and illustrating picture books. I travel around the country speaking about writing and illustrating and playing music. My goal is to encourage everyone to find his or her own stories, songs, poetry and art!
