Tony Piedra grew up in Houston, Texas, chasing lizards in the backyard and capturing great adventures in his sketchbook. Eventually, he relocated to California, where he worked for many years at Pixar Animation Studios, building environments for some of the studio’s most popular movies, including Up and Coco. He is the creator of The Greatest Adventure, his debut picture book published by Scholastic. He is also the cocreator of One Tiny Treefrog: A Countdown to Survival, the first of three non-fiction picture books that will be published by Candlewick Press with his best friend and life partner, Mackenzie Joy. Together they have crafted a dazzling spin on the life of one of nature’s darlings, the red-eyed treefrog. Expect many more books to come from their partnership.
Open to b&w/interior and cover illustration work.
