The story is about a red-haired boy named Liam. There's a kind of take-it-or-leave-it nonchalance that I quite like. Peter somehow manages to to make me the center of attention, yet not so preachy that it feels like readers are learning a lesson. In this book I tell kids that caring for the environment makes a better world. Then you have an author like Peter Brown (Chowder, Flight of the Dodo) and his book The Curious Garden. Occasionally, authors cleverly sneak me into a story, making as little disruption as possible. Hey, I can be preachy if that's what the author wants! I don't always raise a stink, though. They put me front and center, and the story takes a back seat. Sometimes, people get upset when authors make it really clear that I'm coming to the party. Sometimes I even tell the reader how they should act. It's my job to expose a universal truth or support a cause. You probably know me from my countless appearances in books, especially the "for children" variety.
White Honor, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book award, a Children’s Choice Award for Illustrator of the Year, two Irma Black Honors, and five New York Times bestsellers.

He was working on animated TV shows when he signed a book deal to write and illustrate his first picture book, Flight of the Dodo. While studying illustration at Art Center College of Design, Peter’s love of both words and pictures led him to take several courses on children’s books, and before long he knew he’d found his calling.Īfter graduating from Art Center Peter moved to New York City to be closer to the publishing industry. Then, as a teenager, he fell in love with writing, and told his tales with words. Growing up in New Jersey, he told stories by drawing whimsical characters and scenes from his imagination. Peter Brown is an American writer and illustrator who is best known for children's picture books. Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name.
