"I wrote Peter the Perfect Peacock for my nephew for his first birthday. I wanted to give him a story with messages I felt were important to instill in him as he began his life.
For both my nephew, and children everywhere around the world, I wanted a story that let them know that they are perfect exactly the way they are. At times they may feel different to the people around them, but that should never be a cause for concern, because there is no better feeling than being celebrated for being exactly who you are."
