The Author Behind Roz

Peter Brown is an American author and illustrator. His 2016 novel The Wild Robot tells of Roz, a robot whose crate washes ashore on a wild island after a shipwreck. Curious otters switch her on, and she must learn to survive among animals who first fear her.

Roz adopts an orphaned gosling, Brightbill, and learns to be a mother, winning the island's trust. Brown followed with The Wild Robot Escapes in 2018 and The Wild Robot Protects in 2023. He illustrates his own books, mixing short chapters with simple, striking pictures.

DreamWorks Animation adapted the first book in 2024, directed by Chris Sanders, with Lupita Nyong'o as Roz and Kit Connor as Brightbill. It earned three Oscar nominations. Brown's picture books include Mr. Tiger Goes Wild, and he illustrated Creepy Carrots!, a Caldecott Honor book written by Aaron Reynolds.
