Chris Barton
Ever since he co-authored a Howard Cosell parody in third grade, Chris Barton has been drawn toward writing as a community activity, and there's no better place in the world for that than Austin. In the decade or so since he was a fledgling in the local children's literature scene, Chris has written picture books THE DAY-GLO BROTHERS (about the guys who invented those colors) and SHARK VS. TRAIN (about, um, a shark versus a train) and the young adult nonfiction title CAN I SEE YOUR I.D.? TRUE STORIES OF FALSE IDENTITIES. He's also considered himself lucky pretty much every single day to get to do what he loves alongside Austin's terrific authors, illustrators, librarians, and dedicated staff at a certain independent bookseller -- and to count those same folks among his friends.
