David Jarvis' Summer Reading List

David Jarvis is a recent graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. He began his career as an artist designing toys, and this is his first picture book. He lives in southern California with his wife, Janina, and their young son, Ryan.

Every evening before my three year old son, Ryan, goes to bed, we read three to five books. Just recently we made a trip to our favorite children's book store to stock up for the summer and our upcoming vacation trip. We found some really great books that are funny and adventurous. Ryan and I both love to read together and recommend you check out our favorite selection the next time you are at your local library or book store.
