New York Times Bestselling illustrator + author of books for children, including THE WILD ROBOT series. Follower of kindness + empathy + rational thinking.
Is it petty of me to keep repeating that this beautiful movie by
@Dreamworks
is based on my book? The team of artists + animators + designers did an outstanding job + I want people to know that my book was the inspiration! Is that wrong? This is all new for me!

My name IS in the end credits! But most people don’t watch the credits. So I’m just trying to spread the word but I’m not sure what I’m doing. Ha!
Yes, I’m very excited! “One of the best animated films of all time” was inspired by my book THE WILD ROBOT, which I wrote and illustrated. I think that’s pretty cool!

’s THE WILD ROBOT to our kids during the pandemic and we loved it. For years, I’ve recommended it to college students who say they don’t like to read. My family and I just saw the movie and it was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen.

NYTimes bestseller & deservedly so. I knew if Dreamworks' animated movie version captured even a fraction of the book's appeal, it would be a winner. Well folks, they outdid themselves: It's an INSTANT CLASSIC!😍👍
This is so cool. And if you look closely you’ll see Chris Sanders showed slides of my artwork from the book. Don’t forget…The Wild Robot movie is based on a book! My book! There’s a whole series of Wild Robot books! Read them, then watch the movie in theaters starting Sept 27!
Wow. This worked out really well. Thanks everyone! I hope you’ll watch The Wild Robot movie, and ya know, maybe give my book a shot? It’s a quick read, I promise.
Wild Robot fans! I'm pumped to share the cover art for Roz's next adventure, The Wild Robot Protects! The book comes out on 9/26/23 but is available now for preorder wherever books are sold. I hope you'll check it out!

Educators! Many of your schools have closed from the

crisis. Please know that you have my blessing to record video of yourselves reading my books to share online with your students. And THANK YOU for maintaining some normalcy for your students during this difficult time.
I ❤️ it when publishers let me design separate case covers for my books. It’s such a fun “hidden” detail that makes holding a physical book feel even more special. Wait til you see the case cover I designed for my upcoming picture book THE WILD ROBOT ON THE ISLAND!
#TheWildRobot
What a fantastic discovery by my 4th graders while reading today. Who knew there was such beauty to be found beneath the book-jackets! We barely have enough books in our library to keep up with the demand as my students read The Wild Robot trilogy🤖Time to get a few more copies!
We are pleased announce that Chris Sanders has returned to DreamWorks Animation and is set to write and direct "The Wild Robot," based on the New York Times bestseller by Peter Brown. Jeff Hermann will produce.

Whenever I see someone in public wearing a mask I quietly think to myself, “thank you.” We wear masks because we care about our neighbors and our fellow Americans. Isn’t that wonderful? If YOU wear a mask in public, thank YOU for looking out for the rest of us.

The movie brilliantly captures the big, important ideas of the book, but they’re both unique + special + totally worth experiencing. So go watch THE WILD ROBOT movie + then go read THE WILD ROBOT book! And maybe help me remind people how this all started?
Look what arrived on my doorstep the other day! It's a real book + I can't wait for you to read it! The Wild Robot Protects hits bookstores on Sept 26, but you can pre-order now from wherever you buy books. Happy reading!

Wow! There is seriously tough competition on the Series Bestseller List, so this is amazing. HUGE THANKS to Wild Robot fans + booksellers + especially to the incredible teachers who have incorporated the Wild Robot books into your curricula. Your enthusiasm means so much to me.
Advanced Reader Copies arrived. I feel mixed about them because I’ve revised the text a lot since these printed. Many reviewers will read a story that‘s not up to my standards. Sigh. But I’m pumped about the FINISHED book, so check out The Wild Robot Escapes in March 2018!
