Make Magic! Do Good! by Dallas Clayton
From from an exciting new face in children's literature, Dallas Clayton, comes a book of illustrated poems full of wisdom, wonder, and whimsy. A boy with a beard tries to stay six forever. A frightful monster lives a million miles away, but is equally scared of you. A magic rope hangs from the sky, next to a sign saying Give me a try. In this brightly illustrated selection of playful, often provocative poems, ideas run the gamut from stopping your lightning-fast running to help others keep up, imagining a store that sells colors never before made, or admitting you'll never know all the answers (and sleeping better at night). Following the runaway success of his self-published debut, Dallas Clayton's quirky, captivating collection makes it clear that this rising talent, whose work has evoked comparisons to Dr. Seuss, Maurice Sendak, and Shel Silverstein, exudes a spirit and style all his own.DALLAS CLAYTON: HI, MY NAME IS DALLAS CLAYTON. This is all you need to know about what goes on here: I attempt to create beautiful things. They are sometimes drawn. They are sometimes wrapped in plastic and sold in high-end boutiques for more money than they cost to produce.
I enjoy making almost everything. I'm most passionate about making people happy. My six-year-old son is my pride and joy. Most of all, I adore making him happy.
I'd like to do this more and more every day for the rest of my life. It is for this reason that I write for youngsters. When I'm not writing for kids, I'm writing for adults and the businesses they run, producing illustrations for them, and reading aloud to groups of strangers. Strangers are my favorite people.
