About the Author

DAV PILKEY, qui est né en 1966, est un auteur reconnu et un illustrateur récipiendaire du prix Caldecott. Il a commencé à écrire des livres alors qu’il était encore au primaire et se faisait souvent punir pour ses farces. Ses professeurs n’appréciaient pas du tout ses bandes dessinées. Mais c’est en deuxième année qu’il a inventé son personnage le plus célèbre: Le Capitaine Bobette. L’un de ses professeurs lui a dit un jour: « Tu ferais mieux de commencer à prendre les choses un peu plus sérieusement, mon garçon, parce que tu ne pourras pas passer le restant de tes jours à écrire des livres farfelus. » Heureusement pour nous, il n’a pas écouté ses professeurs.

Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books — the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.

In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to write and illustrate for kids. He took her advice and created his first book, World War Won, which won a national competition in 1986. Dav made many other books before being awarded the California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath (1994) and the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy (1996).

In 2002, Dav published his first full-length graphic novel for kids, called The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby. It was both a USA Today and New York Times bestseller. Since then, he has published more than a dozen full-length graphic novels for kids, including the bestselling Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club series.

Dav’s stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, empathy, and the
