The Authors and Illustrators - Profiles
David Kirk
David Kirk, the celebrated creator of the best-selling Miss Spider picture books, grew up in the wild and boundless suburbs of central Ohio, where he learned about insects and painting. The leading authority on the rare and beautiful Arachne Vulgaris Florivora, he is considered by many to be central New York's finest bug poet.
David has been making toys and art for children for over fifteen years. He also designs furniture which, together with his one-of-a-kind toys and paintings, are treasured by collectors. He is looking forward to the March 31st premiere of his very first animated television special, Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Kids, on Nickelodeson at 8 p.m. (ET/PT). It's a rollicking and heartwarming tale for the whole family, produced by Corus Entertainment's Nelvana, in collaboration with Callaway & Kirk.
Mr. Kirk lives in upstate New York with his wife, Kathy, and his daughters, Violet, Primrose, and Wisteria.

ACTION ALERT!
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) needs your help. The President's proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released in February eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. RIF serves 4.6 million children. Please click on the link below to visit the RIF Action Alert page so you can make your voice heard and support their efforts.
