Peter Brown has 63 past events. (show)  Peter Brown, My Teacher is a Monster (No, I am Not) Peter Brown is one of our very favorite author illustrators currently working in kid lit today. We've loved him since his very first book, Flight of the Dodo, when, literally no one had heard of him except us. (No, this is not true.) Like most good things, almost everyone knows him now, due to his amazing output over the past 10 years. We invite you to marvel at the amazing list of books below, all of which we've enjoyed quite a lot. We suspect you'll spot a favorite of your very own family on there. And, as evidenced by his multiple appearances on the New York Times bestseller lists over the years, you won't be alone in your admiration of his stories and art!
Please come meet and listen to this talented storyteller. He might even draw a teacher or a monster or a teacher that is a monster or a monster that is a teacher! It'll be so fun!

He grew up in Hopewell, New Jersey, where he spent his time imagining and drawing silly characters. He studied Life Lessons at the School of Hard Knocks, and then got his B.F.A. in Illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
After college Peter moved to Brooklyn, New York and spent several years painting backgrounds for animated TV shows. And then in 2003 he got a book deal to write and illustrate his first picture book FLIGHT OF THE DODO, which is a story that involves bird poop...in case you're into that kind of thing. Since then he's written and illustrated three more picture books, and illustrated several other books for young whippersnappers. His books have been adapted into plays and animated short films, they have been translated into a dozen languages, and they include the 2010 E.B. White award winner, Children's Choice Award winner, and New York Times bestselling books THE CURIOUS GARDEN.
His books CHILDREN MAKE TERRIBLE PETS, YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND! and his latest book, CREEPY CARROTS! are also New York Times bestsellers and award winners. CREEPY CARROTS! written by Aaron Reynolds has also been named a 2013 Caldecott Honor book.
