There he drew (and drew and drew) for films such as <i>Tarzan</i>, <i>Lilo & Stitch</i> and <i>Mulan</i>. To this day, he says he can draw Mulan's two friends Ling and Chien Po as easily as he can write his own name! Pete is the author of the picture book <i>The Monkey and the Bee</i> and Third Grade Mermaid is his debut chapter book series. His favorite part about working on Third Grade Mermaid was diving into the ocean research. Pete says: Besides offering a naturally unique cast of characters, the ocean's timeless beauty and diversity provides an endless backdrop for fun and meaningful stories. Pete and his family live in Celebration, Florida.
