Peter H. ReynoldsPeter's work in the field of education has been his passion for the past two decades. Speaking across the country and around the globe, Peter has helped countless teachers explore how technology, media and storytelling can be used effectively to increase learning and make teaching easier and more rewarding. Best known for many of his best-selling books about authentic learning, creativity and self-expression, Peter's books include The North Star, Ish and The Dot, in which a creative teacher encourages a reluctant little girl how to “make your mark and see where it takes you.” The Dot, published by Candlewick Press, has already been published in over twenty languages and has won a number of prestigious awards, including the Oppenheim Platinum Toy Award, Borders Books’ Original Voices 2004 Award, and the Christopher Medal, as well as the 2005 Carnegie Medal of Excellence for the film’s animated adaptation. Peter has also released a series of children's books for young children, based on the character SugarLoaf. The first book in this series is My Very Big Little World, released April 2006. Peter's award-winning publishing work also includes the best-selling Judy Moody series written by Megan McDonald, Eleanor Estes’ The Alley and The Tunnel of Hugsy Goode, Judy Blume’s Fudge series, and Ellen Potter’s Olivia Kidney books. Peter and FableVision also offer professional development workshops for educators, as he shares, “I travel around the country and listen to the pain and frustration of so many wonderful educators who are being drained by the demands of implementing high-stakes testing, less money for support & resources, and pressures to “teach to the test” - what I offer is hope that there is still a way to infuse meaning into the learning journey as long as we stay open to the creativity needed for the mission.” Be sure to visit Peter's own personal web site: www.peterhreynolds.com.
