Biography
Books have always been a vital part of Peter Cheong’s life. Growing up reading Roald Dahl and having adventures with Calvin and Hobbes, Peter was heavily influenced by the way Quentin Blake and Bill Watterson brought stories to life. After spending several years in the Australian Army, Peter decided to pursue his dream of a career in books. He is the illustrator of I’m a HeroToo, Nothing Alike and Anh Do’s Pow Pow Pig series, and has written and illustrated his own children’s books, Every Night at Midnight and Where We Can Hear the Giants Sing. Peter lives in Perth (Whadjuk Country), Western Australia, with his very understanding wife, sons and less understanding cat.
