There are some people in this world that have something really special inside of them, and I think that Dallas Clayton is one of them.
Author of An Awesome Book, a self-published story originally written for his son, Dallas Clayton has a wonderfully intelligent adult’s head – he’s clever, articulate, gentle and focused (a dentist, even!) – with the heart of a child, expressed through his playfulness in expression, illustration, passion and curiousity for other people.
An Awesome Book is an inspiring story which carries a single strong message: dream big, and don’t give up your dreams. The illustrations are colourful and whimsically rendered, alternating in detail and complexity from page to page, and wonderfully evocative.
An Awesome Book has achieved cult status, selling thousands and thousands of copies.
To give the love shown to him back Dallas Clayton has set up the Awesome World Foundation, which will give one copy of An Awesome Book book away for each copy sold.
You can feel the love, and help spread the love, too: purchase An Awesome Book locally from Little Pinwheel for $19.95 + postage or We Heart Books.com.au for $24.95 + postage ( We Heart Books also has a great interview with Dallas Clayton).
