Author-illustrator Dallas Clayton wrote An Awesome Book for his son. He never imagined writing it would change his life.
It is a simple and imaginative picture book that invites you to DREAM BIG. Its design and positive message will appeal to a wide audience. Share it with a toddler, a third grader, a social worker, a recent college graduate, and a grandparent.
"So like I would say if you're a kid, just do that. Just like make something. Try to give it to people. Let them judge you. Make something else. Give it to more people and just keep going and that's going to make you stronger as a writer. It's going to condition you to want to write often. It's going to, you know, help you explore new styles and ideas." -Dallas Clayton
"The idea of making original artwork and getting kids excited about not only painting and drawing but also using the medium to communicate a positive message is very important to me and I hope this project helps spread that message far and wide." -Dallas Clayton
