Dallas Clayton

My name is Dallas Clayton. A few years ago I wrote a kids book for my son. That book changed my entire life. Now I spend my days writing stories, drawing pictures, having big ideas and traveling the world sharing them with people of all ages.

Making books is great fun, but it can take a long time. I created this site as a place to post free daily poems, stories, drawings, photos and ideas. If you don't have money to buy a book, don't worry. If you don't have time to read a book, don't worry. If you don't ever plan on having kids, don't worry. This is all about sharing. I love sharing.

An Awesome Book

This is my first book. It's about dreaming big. I put it out myself and people liked it so much that Harper Collins decided to re-release it and share it with the world. Click here to check it out.

An Awesome Book of Thanks

This is my second book. It's a complement to An Awesome Book! It's about being thankful for all the things that happen on your way to achieving your biggest dreams. It's the first kid's picture book ever published by the folks at Amazon. Click here to check it out.

Touring

I established The Awesome World Foundation as a way to travel the world promoting children's literacy.

We try to make the world of kids books as exciting as possible. We are constantly traveling reading to children, giving away books, playing music, painting murals, climbing on things, jumping into things and generally encouraging people to dream big.

If you have an event or location you'd like us to stop by, please e-mail. The more fun the better!

The Greatest Writer Alive

The Greatest Writer Alive was a column I wrote for the amazing folks at the culture site The World's Best Ever.

It was a place for poems and short ideas that weren't made specifically for little kids. In late 2011, The Greatest Writer Alive was released a limited-edition hardcover book of poetry and illustrations. It has since completely sold out. A digital version is available for free download here.
