The late David Collins (1940-2001) wrote over sixty books for young readers and was an admired and respected educator. Believing that children can never have enough role models, Collins was dedicated to writing biographies for young readers to educate and entertain. His books have garnered praise from such publications as School Library Journal, the Book Report, the Polish American Journal, and the Catholic Post. Larry Nolte, a popular free-lance artist, has added his distinctive style to many books by David Collins, including all those published by Pelican.
