Author Biography
Vikram Madan grew up in India where, despite spending his childhood rhyming and doodling, he ended up an engineer. After many years of tech work, he followed his heart back to being creative and is now the author/illustrator of over a dozen books, including the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor winning OWL & PENGUIN series, the acclaimed funny poetry collections BEWARE THE DRAGON AND THE NOZZLEOWOCK, A HATFUL OF DRAGONS, THE BUBBLE COLLECTOR, and LORD OF THE BUBBLES, the early reader chapter series BOBO & PUP-PUP, and the graphic-novel-in-rhyme series ZOONI TALES. His books have been honored by Kirkus Reviews, American Library Association, Junior Library Guild, New York Public Library, Bank Street College of Education, School Library Journal blogs, and others, and have appeared on multiple Best Books of the Years lists.
