Author Visits for the 2023 - 2024
Dev Petty
Author Dev Petty writes picture books that make you laugh a lot and think a little, sometimes the reverse.
Ms. Petty used to work in film effects as a painter. She worked on The Matrix movies and dozens of other film, TV, and game projects. Picture books are a different medium, but have a lot of similarities- they're sort of like little, paper movies when you think about it. She is grateful she still gets to be creative as a writer and find new ways to tell stories.
Ms. Petty lives in Berkeley, California right near where she grew up, with her husband, daughters, dogs, cat, and a snake named "Boots."
