  Tony Piedra

  I live, work, and play in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area, and I spent most of my childhood drawing monsters and looking for bugs in hot and humid Houston, Texas.
  
  My latest book, One Tiny Treefrog, created with my creative partner and wife, Mackenzie Joy, is out now. This book is the first of three non-fiction, nature picture books being published by Candlewick Press. We hope these books will inspire children and their families to learn more about all the other life that calls Earth home.
  
  In my spare time, I also help make animated movies, nurse native plant gardens, and cook frijoles negros con arroz y mucho mas.
  
  My debut picture book, The Greatest Adventure, is published in English and Spanish by Scholastic.
