Artie Bennett dreamed of being an author. His dreams came true with the publication of THE BUTT BOOK, now a classic children’s book.
He is delighted to share THE TENTH MAN: A MIRACLE OF JEWISH FAITH AND FRIENDSHIP IN NEW ORLEANS, his moving, new nonfiction picture book, with young readers. It’s a book brimming with heart and humor. Booklist praised it as “a uniquely American Jewish story about faith and community.”
He is also the author of THE TRUE STORY OF ZIPPY CHIPPY: THE LITTLE HORSE THAT COULDN’T, which won the Magnolia Book Award, given by the children of Mississippi. His other acclaimed picture books include POOPENDOUS!, PETER PANDA MELTS DOWN, BELCHES, BURPS, AND FARTS—OH MY!, and WHAT’S AFOOT! YOUR COMPLETE, OFFBEAT GUIDE TO FEET.
He lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he spends his time moving his car to satisfy the stringent demands of alternate-side-of-the-street parking. HuffPost says: “It appears there is no topic Mr. Bennett can’t make funny and educational.”
