Dave Horowitz lives and works in New York’s Hudson Valley. He is author and illustrator of The Ugly Pumpkin, Humpty Dumpty Climbs Again, Five Little Gefiltes, and many more works for children. His books have been published around the world and in several languages.

“Dave Horowitz ... specializes in comical stories that operate on two levels, leaving parents tittering along with their children's giggles.” — The New York Times

Horowitz is also a paramedic. He has been riding ambulances for over ten years. His most recent book, Medic, a Diary, is most certainly not for children.
