David Derrick is the author of the children's picture books Sid the
Squid and the Search for the Perfect Job, I'm the Scariest Thing in
the Jungle, and Play with your Food. A story artist at Walt Disney
Animation Studios, David worked on the movies Moana and new The
Lion King. At DreamWorks Animation, he worked on the films
Megamind, How to Train Your Dragon, and Rise of the Guardians,
based on the book by William Joyce.
A sculptor of wildlife in bronze, he studied fine art at the
University of Utah and graduated from California Institute of the
Arts (CALARTS), where his films garnered many awards including a
student Emmy.
Cartoon Brew reviewed Sid the Squid: "this charming book reads like
a classic animated feature that never was...Fun, and with an
inspiring message. Perfect for kids of all ages."
"The animals and their actions are well-chosen for child appeal.
Pen-and-ink drawings with watercolor wash combine realistic images
with the fantasy of this parent-child game...The clever premise of
this well-worked-out story is likely to appeal as much to adults as
to the children they get to share it with." - Kirkus Reviews
“Dave’s curiosity for the natural world is always obvious to me in
his work, and he transfers that love for life to whoever chances
upon it. His drawings and compositions show the wonder of the
natural world, while his humor and his story layer it with
life.”
- Matt Nolte, Character Designer, Pixar, and illustrator of Brave:
One Perfect Day
“Dave Derrick has created a fantastic picture book that is
entertaining, informative, and laugh out loud funny. When you add
in his expertly drawn gestural illustrations, you have, simply,
perfection. I wish I had thought of this!"
- Chris Van Dusen, illustrator of Kate DiCamillo’s Mercy Watson
