David Sheldon has illustrated numerous books, but this is his first time as author and illustrator. On the subject of Barnum he says that, “Like a lot of kids, the first dinosaur to capture my imagination was Tyrannosaurus Rex. But it never occurred to me that someone had actually discovered the fearsome beast! It has been a real thrill to unearth Barnum Brown’s story and learn of his legacy.” David lives in Brooklyn, New York, with wife Margit, their children, William, Sarah, and Christopher, and a very large cast of a dinosaur track!
