==Early life==
David Shannon was born in Washington, D.C., but he also spent his childhood in Spokane, Washington. In an interview with Sonia Bolle in the Children's Literature Review (CLR), he said, "I loved ''Oliver Twist," but I liked the Artful Dodger more than Oliver. And I always thought the villains in Disney Movies were really cool."〔 Retrieved April 29, 2009, from Literature Resource Center via Gale〕 Shannon said that this fondness for villains made him realize as a child that "you need both sides for a good story."〔
As a student in high school, he decided early on that he wanted to have a career in an art field.〔 Shannon enjoyed making his own illustrations to books that he was reading in high school.〔 Shannon attended art school at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and decided to focus on learning about political illustrations. In 1983, Shannon moved to New York City and began working for various magazines and newspapers. Two of his major jobs were for the ''New York Times'' and the ''Book Review''.〔 These jobs brought Shannon's work increased exposure. His first book of illustrations was Julius Lester's ''How Many Spots Does a Leopard Have?'' (1989).〔 Gale Thomson〕
