Dasher (Animated Special Cover Edition)

Matt Tavares created his first picture book as his senior project in college. That book eventually became Zacharys Ball (Candlewick), which received a Massachusetts Book Award Honor, and was named one of Yankee Magazines 40 Classic New England Childrens Books.

Since then, Matt has illustrated nineteen more books, nine of which he also wrote. Three titles received Parents Choice Gold Awards, two were named ALA Notable Books, one was an Orbis Pictus Honor Book, and eleven were selected for The Society of Illustrators Original Art exhibits.

The most recent book he wrote and illustrated is Dasher (Candlewick). Learn more about Matt Tavares at tavaresbooks.com.
