Dan writes funny stories for kids that include practical skills for navigating life’s little stumbling blocks. His heartwarming tales feature lovable animals and quirky siblings who must solve a problem or rise to meet a challenge.
“I often fall in love with my characters and when they do something that might cause us to raise an eyebrow, I see it as an opportunity to help kids learn something important to guide them on life’s journey. Each book adds a few of those life lessons, like how to make a friend, tame a temper, believe in yourself or move forward when fear tries to wrap you in a web of anxiety.”
Dan started Nice Dog Books with his canine companion KukkaTahti to tell stories and tickle funny bones. It has not escaped Kukka’s attention that their first few books feature a tiger and a cat. She’s expecting equal time for dogs. When they’re not busy writing or thinking silly thoughts, Dan and Kukka can often be spotted “going for a walk” on the streets of Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
