    I'm the author of picture books including bestseller SHARK VS. TRAIN, Sibert Honor-winning THE DAY-GLO BROTHERS, and WHOOSH! LONNIE JOHNSON'S SUPER-SOAKING STREAM OF INVENTIONS, which has been included on 21 state reading lists.

    Other well-known titles of mine include HOW TO MAKE A BOOK (ABOUT MY DOG), FIRE TRUCK VS. DRAGON, DAZZLE SHIPS, THE AMAZING AGE OF JOHN ROY LYNCH, and WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A VOICE LIKE THAT?

    My newest books include GLITTER EVERYWHERE! WHERE IT CAME FROM, WHERE IT'S FOUND & WHERE IT'S GOING (illustrated by Chaaya Prabhat; 2023) and MOVING FORWARD: FROM SPACE-AGE RIDES TO CIVIL RIGHTS SIT-INS WITH AIRMAN ALTON YATES (illustrated by Steffi Walthall; a School Library Journal Best Book of 2022).

    I visit schools by the score and also love speaking to professional gatherings of librarians, educators, and fellow writers.

    I'm married to middle-grade/YA novelist Jennifer Ziegler (WORSER, HOW NOT TO BE POPULAR). Jennifer and I have four adult children and one dog, and we co-host the children’s literature video series “This One’s Dedicated to…” in which we talk with other authors and illustrators about the dedications they’ve written for their books.

    Jennifer and I live in Austin, where I serve as a council member of the Texas Institute of Letters, a 501(c)(3) non-profit honor society founded in 1936 to celebrate Texas literature and to recognize distinctive literary achievement.

Bought for my son and he LOVES this book! He's 4 and we read it every night. He loves the graphics and how playful Dragon & Fire Truck are. ... We are a family of Fire Fighters and he loves all things with a fire related theme - this was a welcomed change to the normal fire trucks we find!

We bought this thinking it would be like Shark vs Train, just different characters, but it isn’t at all. My 6 year old was disappointed.

I bought this for my 2 year old, but he doesn't understand the sarcasm/joking tone of the book so we talk about what is happening in the pictures. Older kids would understand the words and tone better. Cute book!
