About Doodledad

My name is David I'm a dad and I love to tell stories.

I've been drawing, illustrating, and designing most of my life. I really found that I love making stories for kids in the preschool and kindergarten age range (they're just little orbs of fun and energy). 
Promoting literacy to kids is such a joy to me. As a child I loved books. I know there are a lot of books you can read to your kids, but my books promote kingdom values and foster a love for reading. 
I'm a follower of Jesus and I know it's hard to find books for kids that promote Kingdom values in a clear kid-friendly way. Doodledad books are committed to positive, life-giving messages for kids. 

I started Doodledad when my first son "Patch" was born. He's just about to start kindergarten this year! It's going by so quickly! Then we had another Baby Boy "Bear". I love making things for them! My wife Colleen is always helping me come up with ideas and helps me with some of the educational aspects of my books (she's an educator). We also have a really cool dog named Joe!
