Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it.

This month on Dad’s Bookshelf we have a wide variety of books. We’re featuring a picture book biography about Banksy, a hilarious graphic novel, and a beautiful picture book about imagination and empathy.
Follow along as we interview picture book author and illustrator Cale Atkinson. Cale is the creator of several beautiful books - including the amazing Sir Simon: Super Scarer. It’s a family favorite, and our new favorite ghost story. Find out more about Cale’s inspirations and creative process, and what’s up next for Sir Simon.
Sir Simon: Super Scarer may be the best picture book about a ghost ever made. Cale Atkinson wrote that he has wanted to make a ghost story for a very long time. Passion can make all the difference in a work of art, and Atkinson’s passion here is clear.
