Author and Illustrator

Kelvin Buerkle, from Dayton’s embrace, dreamed of writing, set his pace. An author’s heart, a storyteller true, creating picture books with a positive view.

With art in his soul, he penned a delight, "Mr. Robert Skylark and the Halloween House" took flight. And don’t forget "Turtle and a Circle," too, His stories enchant both me and you.

With a lineage rich and history grand, Walt Whitman, his ancestor, lends a guiding hand. Beyond his books, his passions soar, bike riding, tennis, shooting, and fishing, and more!
