About this author

edit data

David Kirk is the creator of children's books that follow the character Miss Spider. Before writing books, he made colorful toys that were sold in hand-painted boxes. He was urged to write children's books when his toys caught the interest of a book packager. It wasn't difficult to figure out what he would use as characters in his stories: his daughter, Violet, had a liking for bugs.

Quotes by David Kirk

“Our gifts, they are many:
We hop, fly, and crawl.
But kindness," he said,
Is the finest of all!”
