ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR: Dr. D.W. Knight is a newcomer to the children's publishing world, but he is not new to teaching kids. He holds a master's degree in education from University of Colorado at Boulder, taught middle school science, social studies, reading, and Spanish for eight years and coached basketball early in his career. He continued his education to earn a PhD from Colorado State University where he was most recently a well-loved professor, a published researcher, and public speaker. Dr. Knight is also a member of the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa Honor's Society in recognition of his outstanding academic achievements and a commitment to lifelong learning. Outside the classroom, Knight began writing for young readers. His sense of humor and wit weave together stories and poems that usually deliver a good-hearted message or a valuable life lesson, and they can almost always be counted on for a good laugh. If laughter, comedy, and positive messaging are traits that define Dr. Knight's work, they're also traits that define the man himself. Colleagues dubbed him "Mr. Positivity" for good reason! He exudes a joy of life in all that he does with a genuine interest in others and a thirst for exploration, adventure, and discovery. He speaks English, Spanish, Chinese, and aspires to learn more languages. He credits his grandmother, who was a Minnesota school district reading director, for instilling in him a love of words and languages.
