Author, David M. Howard is an autistic writer, award-winning author, and illustrator.

Affectionately known as “Uncle Dave”, he tours local schools, libraries, festivals, and universities reading to the masses and giving children advice on how they can create books from their imagination.

Uncle Dave was reading at Monongahela Library when a woman walked up to him afterward crying. He remembered her quickly; she was his Learning Disability teacher from high school. She was so proud he persevered and overcame his disabilities and only some of the blessings Dave has received when speaking at events.

Dave is currently writing several new books and his favorite genre is rhyming text and computer illustrations for the very young readers. He resides with his wife outside Pittsburgh PA.
