Gareth Peter is an author and stay-at-home dad, living in Nottingham with his partner, two huskies and their two adopted children.

He is originally from a small village in Northamptonshire, where he once ran his own theatre school. Gareth has written musicals, produced a couple of albums of his music, and had a song played on BBC Radio Two. It was the arrival of his own children that inspired Gareth to begin writing picture books.

In 2018 Gareth was selected as one of ten exceptional finalists onto the Penguin Random House Write Now mentoring scheme. Gareth's experience as a parent within a same-sex couple brings a fresh, funny and sensitive perspective to the joys and trials of parenting and family life.
