Getting to know David

David is a best-selling children’s author, workshop leader, and motivator of children’s reading and writing.

He is the author of 89 books for infant and primary aged children, published in 33 countries worldwide, and has 25 years experience visiting schools in the UK and as far afield as Cambodia, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, Slovakia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Romania, Kuwait, Jordan, China, Thailand, Sudan and Malawi.

David lives in Norfolk, England, and visits schools locally and around the world. To find out more, see School Visits. And have a peep at a video of a school visit in Abu Dhabi here.

“David was wonderful! His down-to-earth, relaxed nature made it very easy for him to engage with students - whether reading to two year olds, or having a Q&A session over lunch with twelve year olds. The feedback from students was overwhelmingly positive and there were more than a few authors-in-waiting inspired to take action after his visit - from both students and staff!”

“Please thank David again for all his work with the kids. They really enjoyed it, as did all the teachers!”

“Thank you David. The children had a great day right from the outset where you captivated them at assembly time, through to their classroom sessions with you. They are all proud to have their books signed by a ’real author’!”

“’One boy in my school who is a reluctant reader, but very keen on football, has now enjoyed all your football books and has become hooked on reading, which is great!’”
