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.
