Peter Reynolds, while indeed an artist and author, would rather be known for his mission to use media to tell stories that matter and challenge us to reach our full potential. Peter's best selling books about protecting and nurturing the creative spirit include The Dot, Ish, and So Few of Me (Candlewick Press). The film version of The Dot (Weston Woods) went on to win ALA's Carnegie Medal of Excellence for the Best Children’s Video of 2005 and the film version of Ish was announced as one of ALA’s 2006 Notable Children’s Videos. His other series of original, animated film shorts including The Blue Shoe, Living Forever and He Was Me have won many awards and honors around the globe.

Peter’s latest book, Someday (a collaboration with author Alison McGhee) is a New York Times #1 Best Seller Children's book! This "storybook for all ages" that celebrates the potential we see in our children and the yearning for them to live life to its fullest. The SugarLoaf book series (Simon & Schuster), My Very Big Little World and The Best Kid in the World are the first of many books about an irrepressible little girl who sees the world through creative-colored glasses. His cornerstone work, The North Star (FableVision) has also inspired "children of all ages" around the world as a book, curriculum and musical. Peter has illustrated the New York Times best-selling Judy Moody series (Candlewick Press) as well as the covers of Judy Blume's Fudge series (Dutton).
