David Murray “Dav” Pilkey, Jr. also known as Dav Pilkey and he writes under pen names George Beard , Harold Hutchins and Sue Denim. Apart from having several names and weird spelling having a name, he is one of the most famous writers of children in North America. He is famous for best selling series called Captain Underpants. The most interesting thing about his famous character which is Captain Underpants is that he imagined and pampered this character in his mind during elementary school days. He actually proved that how learning social skills for kids can be interesting and playful. He is a true inspiration for everyone.

He was born on March 4, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio to David Pilkey and Barbara. During elementary school, he diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), so he was unable to pay attention in class and keep him focused on books. This leads his school life quite difficult for him, even his class teacher punished him several times. The one of the most famous incident of his childhood that his teacher makes him sit outside the class room with separate bench in the afternoon. According to Dav it was nothing like punishment and he always enjoyed that outside moment with his drawing habit. Actually that was the place where this special talent of telling funny stories with brand new characters evolved in him. He was used to tell other about those funny characters and everybody liked him except his teachers. According to his personal experience for his teachers he was just an immature and incapable student who only waste his time by drawing and in his future he is going to be nothing.

His habit of telling stories with unique characters and drawing continued to high school and college as well. During his college days, in a class of English, his teacher found his drawing note book with really funny stories which were able to connect with kids easily and easy going. This was the turning point of his life. His teacher appreciated his work and suggested him to work on books for children. He was quite happy because for the first time in life his work was appreciated by a teacher and some shown him a path in his life. He entered in a National Competition for Student Authors and submitted his book named World War Won and really won in his age group. This book was published in 1987. He completed his graduation from Kent State University.

After that he never look back, everyone who ever bullied him or had a disrespectful attitude got their answer.

Dav was always mischievious by nature and his hyperactivity disorder turned out to be hypercreativity. While he was working in Pizza Hut his name got a twist and spelling of his name became DAV while still pronounced as DAVE.

His works were always children oriented and they were mostly based on imaginary characters like Dragon with humanity, Dogman and the most famous Captain Underpants. He continuously wrote books for a long time. His works A Friend for Dragon (1990),Dragon Gets By (1991),Dragon’s Fat Cat (1992),Dragon’s Halloween (1993),Dragon’s Merry Christmas (1994) were inspiration for famous Canadian Animated TV Series “Dragon” which was aired in 2004. This TV series was widely acclaimed by critics because the they were helping children to adopt several social skills like working with each other, importance of friendship and trying new thing. Mr. Frank Meschkuleit narrated this story line in TV series. His books have average rating of more than 4 out of 5 at famous reading websites like goodreads.com

He seems quite influenced by Dr. Seuss, Vincent van Gogh, Marc Chagall and Henri Rousseau.

When he relocated to Washington, he met Sayuri, a professional musician and also the owner of his favorite Japanese restaurant. They started dating in February of 2005 and got married in a private ceremony later that year.

He published his bestselling novel Captain Underpants in September 1997 and continuously published total 10 novels of this series till 2006. After that he took a break from writing to look after his ill father. His father died on November 13,2008.

In 2010, he agreed with scholastic to write four more books. His works also got awarded from time to time. There is list if awards he get.

1986: The National Written and Illustrated by… Awards Contest for Students, ages 14–19 category, World War Won

1997: Caldecott Honor Award, The Paperboy

1998: California Young Reader Medal, Dog Breath!: The Horrible Trouble with Hally Tosis, published in 1994

2007: Disney Adventures Kids’ Choice Awards, The Captain Underpants series

The series created by him are Dragon, Dumb Bunnies, Captain Underpants, Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot & Big Dog & Little Dog. There are some other books written by him, some of them are Kat kong, Dogzilla and The Paperboy. He published his latest work in 2016 which is Dogman : World’s greatest Cop. He have also give it a cool tagline IT’S DOG MAN, the crime-biting canine who is part dog, part man and ALL HERO!

The unique style of his presentation makes him differ from others and children adopt them so easily. The storyline up of Dav is always quite slow in his each novel but this make them easier for kids to understand. Some adults also found them quite interesting.

He has also published Captain Underpants spinoff in 2015 under name CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS and the sensational saga of Sir Stinks a lot.

As in starting, I said that he is a true inspiration for every kid who is suffering from any kind of illness. He was not even able to concentrate yet he did something so creative with so much perfection. It is not easy to face the world knowing that you are dealing with some psychological problem. Dav Pilky has proved him a good social person, a good artist, a good son, a good husband and most importantly a good human being.

Now a days he lives with wife in Seattle, Washington and his life spends between moving from Bainbridge Island to Minami Izu, Japan. And yes he is still writing for the kids of this generation and I hope he will continuously write not just only to please kids but also to inspire everyone. We definitely need more persons like him, who can help to put some smiles on face of everyone and help us to make this world a better place.
