About The Author

Thank you for joining Petey, Walter, and Elena on their very first adventure. This story was inspired by a lifelong love of travel, adventure, mystery, and the incredible people and cultures I have been fortunate enough to experience throughout my life. After visiting many countries around the world, I wanted to create a series that could entertain readers while also encouraging curiosity, kindness, courage, friendship, and a sense of wonder about the world around us. Petey & Walter was created to be more than just an adventure series. I wanted readers — especially younger readers — to laugh, learn, explore, and feel inspired to ask questions, discover new places, and appreciate different cultures and languages along the way. At the heart of every story is the idea that adventure can begin anywhere — sometimes even in your own backyard. Thank you for reading Book One of The Great Adventures of Petey & Walter. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I enjoyed creating it. The adventure is only beginning.
