Dan Santat writes and illustrates children's picture books and graphic memoir, often combining comic timing with stories about fear, imagination and growing confidence. The Adventures of Beekle follows an imaginary friend who sets out to find the child who has not yet imagined him, using large visual sequences and invented cityscapes to carry much of the story. After the Fall imagines Humpty Dumpty dealing with a fear of heights after his famous accident. The Aquanaut moves into longer graphic fiction about grief, family and unusual sea creatures, while A First Time for Everything recounts Santat's own awkward teenage trip through Europe in graphic-memoir form. His books are visually expressive, funny and accessible. They fit picture books, middle-grade graphic novels and illustrated stories about anxiety and resilience. Read more Less
