He is the author and illustrator of many highly praised books for children. His editorial illustrations have appeared in The New York Times, Time, and Rolling Stone.
Shannon knew growing up that he wanted to be an artist, but he did not like the idea of going into the fine arts he preferred making drawings to accompany the stories he was reading.
When Award-winning writer and illustrator David Shannon was five years old, he wrote and illustrated his first book. On every page were these words: “No, David!” ...and a picture of David doing things he was not supposed to do.
David plays with the food, jumps on the bed, disorders … but his mother knows the magic word to make him to enter reason. Occasionally it is necessary to say not! In time to educate correctly and the children learn what yes it is possible to do. The illustrations, with expression and movement and the short text of the book, answer to the original idea with which the author created the work in his infancy: his own drawings doing pranks and the unique words that he could write Not and David. An album with happy end after the repentance of the naughty child and the immense love of his mother, it tells the history that many parents will feel identified.
David’s teacher has her hands full. From running in the halls to chewing gum in class, David’s highenergy antics fill each school day with trouble and are sure to bring a smile to even the
bestbehaved reader.
The reason why I wanted to talk about this author is simple. I had to make a presentation about him at class and started reading his children books. This is when I started admiring this author, so I still defend he is the best!!!! ^^.
In this link you can see a very interesting interview about him.
