From the author/illustrator of the very popular “My Fire Engine,” a picture book about race car driving that is simple, accessible, and suspense-filled. “”Today is the day of the big race. The pit crew is ready. The driver is suited up and strapped in. The engine is loud, and the spectators are all waiting for the race to begin. The cars are on the starting line, and when the green flag waves they’re off!”” In this very young, action-packed picture book, a little boy imagines that he is a race car driver-with all the thrills, spills, and excitement that go along with the job. Loaded with accurate details, this is a playful look at a sport that fascinates kids of all ages. Like “My Fire Engine,” “My Race Car”‘s bold, graphic art brings this funny, informative story to life. It’s a book that puts the reader right in the driver’s seat.

He visits schools across the country and internationally to share his books with students of all ages, and he has a master’s degree in Arts Education. His work covers a wide range of styles, from the simple, goofy rhymes of Truck Duck, to the heavily illustrated, yuck-filled Icky Ricky chapter books.
