Maya hopes it's a horse or a big brother. But instead it's Julius, a big, cool pig. Maya's parents see Julius as a slob, but Maya herself sees another Julius altogether. She sees a playmate, a protector, and sharer in all that's magical and wild.

Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.</p><p>In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to write and illustrate for kids. He took her advice and created his first book, <i>World War Won</i>, which won a national competition in 1986. Dav made many other books before being awarded the California Young Reader Medal for <i>Dog Breath</i> (1994) and the Caldecott Honor for <i>The Paperboy</i> (1996).</p><p>In 2002, Dav published his first full-length graphic novel for kids, called <i>The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby</i>. It was both a <i>USA Today</i> and <i>New York Times</i> bestseller. Since then, he has published more than a dozen full-length graphic novels for kids, including the bestselling Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club series.</p><p>Dav's stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, empathy, and the triumph of the good-hearted.</p><p>When he is not making books for kids, Dav loves to kayak with his wife in the Pacific Northwest.</p><br/> Angela Johnson was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, but raised in Windham, Ohio; the only girl in a family of five. She now lives in Northeastern Ohio in a 100-year-old house full of plants. When not writing, she travels. On one of her trips to the California desert, the inspiration for her first novel, <i>Toning the Sweep</i>, came about.
