Neal Fox is the kind of person who zigs when everyone else zags. (In fact, that's the theme of his poem, "Why Not?") He hates being one of the crowd, doesn't like to conform, and sees no point in limiting his creativity. Eccentric and eclectic, he's won awards for music, videos, and art. Fox is the co-creator of the Confetti Company books (with recordings narrated by actor Robert Guillaume). The multicultural series inspired the HBO special, Happy Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child. As a writer of children's songs ("Big Horned Sheep," "I'm an Elephant"), it was natural to move into poetry. Fox loves to play with words and never takes anything-including himself-too seriously. His style ranges from innocent to edgy, heartwarming to hilarious. He can give a lesson without a lecture, make kids feel smarter, and make the world a friendlier place. See less
