I get a lot of emails asking questions about kids books and how I ended up where I am. A nice interview just got posted over at DesignMom that I think helps to answer some of those questions. Hope you like it!

TUMBLR GIVEAWAY! This one’s for all my Tumblr friends and followers. You have all been so supportive over the past year and to say thanks I’m going to be giving away a signed copy of my new book The Greatest Writer Alive and a signed original drawing. All you have to do is reblog this video and comment about someone in your life that you think is great! Or maybe someone that you don’t know that you think is doing great things. That way, even if you don’t win you get to tell the world about how great someone/something is, which is important. I’ll pick a winner sometime next week. Share away!

The totally amazing (non-kids) culture site The World’s Best Ever asked me to put together a list of kids books that I recommend for the holidays. For those of you looking for a good read or a good book to share with a kid in your life check it out!
HEY EVERYONE!!! I just made a brand new book! It’s called The Greatest Writer Alive. I’ve been getting a lot of requests from all of my non-kid-having readers for a book of non-kid stuff, so here it is just in time for the holidays.
Check out the video above to hear me talk about it, or order a copy for you or a friend over at Very Awesome World. As always, you can read the entire book for free online.
Thanks so much! Very excited about this one, feel free to share!
Love, Dallas
Wow! I’ve just gotten word that holiday shipments of An Awesome Book came so fast that we’ve already sold out the entire run reserved for the Christmas season. NUTS! Sadly, the new edition will not be available until the full scale Harper Collins re-release in 2012.
So sorry to all of you who were planning on purchasing An Awesome Book for the holidays. On the bright side, I will be announcing a BRAND NEW BOOK later this week which I’m super excited about. It’s called “The Greatest Writer Alive” and will be here ready to ship for all your holiday needs.
Thanks so much for all your support, and in the meanwhile you can still pick up An Awesome Book of Thanks! over at amazon.

If you’re in LA this weekend and want something fun to do with your kids J Crew and Milk and Bookies are hosting a party at the 3rd St. Promenade where I will be reading books and making art with kids. Starts at 11am so it should be perfect for all the new parents out there. Swing by, read a book, eat a cookie, have a blast!
My marker habit is getting heavy.
Just got a copy of the new issue of Nylon. Super sweet article! Pretty excited to be bringing kids books into all kinds of places they’ve never been before. Thanks Nylon!
Just finished the last leg of a two week East Coast kids book tour. Sorry I haven’t been posting as much on the road. Life has been far too rich to be bogged down by computers. Flying back to Los Angeles in an hour with many stories to tell and many pictures to share. Thanks to everyone I met this month and all the magical faces I saw. It was tremendous. More to come!
