Los Dibujos De David

Now available in Spanish, the award-winning story of a young African American boy who makes friends in school by letting his classmates help with his drawing of a bare winter tree.

CATHRYN FALWELL has written and illustrated many award-winning books for children. Falwell's family moved often when she was a child, and like David in this story, drawing was the catalyst for making new friends. As an adult, Falwell became interested in creating multicultural books while working as a volunteer tutor in an inner-city school with a diverse population. She now lives in Gorham, Maine, with her husband and their two sons.ò Butterflies for Kiri (Lee & Low, 2003); more than 10,000 copies in print ò Turtle Splash: Countdown at the Pond (Greenwillow, 2001) ò Word Wizard, (Clarion, 1998) ò Christmas for 10 (Clarion, 1998) ò P.J. & Puppy, (Clarion, 1997) ò Dragon Tooth (Clarion, 1996) ò The Letter Jesters (Ticknor & Fields, 1994) ò Feast for 10 (Clarion, 1993) ò We Have a Baby (Clarion, 1993) ò Nicky series (Where's Nicky?, Nicky's Walk, Nicky Loves Daddy, Nicky 1-2-3, Nicky and Grandpa, Nicky and Alex) (Clarion, 1991û1992; republished as board books, 1998) ò Clowning Around (Orchard, 1992)
