My name is Dallas Clayton. I write kids books. One of them is called An Awesome Book. It’s about dreaming big. more… When I was a kid I dreamt about traveling around the world meeting new people every day, having amazing experiences and sharing the stories from those experiences with other new people. That’s pretty much what I do now. When I am not doing that I am probably writing, drawing, having my mind blown by my seven year old child or jumping into a large body of water. If you have a large body of water you want me to jump in, a school I should read at, something else awesome I should know of, or if you just want to talk you should email me. I love strangers.
