David Shannon was born in Washington D.C in 1959. He liked to draw as soon as he could hold a crayon and his teachers soon learned that if they let David draw he wouldn't disrupt the class.
The first book David illustrated was How Many Spots Does a Leopard Have? (By the way Leopards have 2 spots, dark ones and light ones) He was encouraged to write his own stories and his first book was How Georgie Radbourn Saved Baseball. This was names the New York Times Best Illustrated Book in 1994.
