Peter Brown: Hello, my name is Peter Brown. There are many Peter Browns in the world, but I'm the only one that makes picture books, at this point anyway. When I was growing up, there were a lot of Peters in my school so I got used to being called Peter B. B is for Brown, obviously. So now when I sign my books, usually I sign my name Peter B, just like how I used to write my name when I was in elementary school.
