Award-winning author and illustrator, Dave Howard, aka, Uncle Dave. When Dave came into the world, before long he was struggling to see what the world had to offer. He was prescribed glasses at age four and his world changed from a fuzzy, confused world to a world that was clear, but somehow still confusing. His humor was an outlet as he asked such questions as “Wow, is that what aunt Verna looks like?” and “Is that what grass looks like?”

Dave was a quiet but easy-going child who took to art and storytelling as an escape from the world of restrictions to a world where he could become a superhero, dragon or whatever his imagination put on paper. As he grew up, he had challenges with reading and writing and was placed into a special class tha Award-winning author and illustrator, Dave Howard, aka, Uncle Dave.

Dave was a quiet but easy-going child who took to art and storytelling as an escape from the world of restrictions to a world where he could become a superhero, dragon or whatever his imagination put on paper. As he grew up, he had challenges with reading and writing and was placed into a special class that catered to children with learning disabilities. What the school did not know was, he had A.D.D. (attention deficit disorder) Asperger’s and dyslexia.

The combination of disabilities and attending the special classes at school left him open to harassment and bullying by other students within the confines of his personal prison. The walls closed in around him as he knew he was too smart for these classes, yet couldn’t pass the mainstream curriculum presented to him. Dave’s hindrance was he couldn’t spell correctly because as he puts it “ I would get things backward in my mind."

Today, Uncle Dave is a multi-award-winning author that has turned his challenges into his passions for drawing, illustrating, and publishing fun color children's books for kids to learn through. His reading and picture books are for all little ones, but especially for those like him who have may have disabilities too can learn as each book has a teachable lesson. Not only producing his books is his passion, but he has made it his professional business as he has published and co-authored over 20+ children's books.

Know throughout his home state of PA, Dave visits and speaks to children in a variety of venues like schools or book reading and signings and gaining notoriety nationally. He holds an associate's degree in Visual Communications from 'The Art Institute of Pittsburgh,' as Dave and his wife reside outside Pittsburgh, PA. ...more

But the summer is actually a great time to do art and be outside at the same time! Here are some Read more of this blog post »
