Travis D. Peterson

Born & raised in Wilmington, North Carolina, Travis D. Peterson grew up building tree forts and exploring trails in the woods, riding waves, catching fish in the ocean and lightning bugs in the night air. As an adult, he worked as a bookseller and spent way too much money on stacks of books while pursuing an education as a graphic designer. He went on to design all sorts of printed things and won 10 awards from the Religion Communicators Council for his work. Travis now lives in Bergen, Norway where his wife, Anne Berit, is from. They have two brave and wonderful kids—one of which has profound hearing loss and has received bilateral cochlear implants that help her to hear. Travis' debut book is a picture book with a protagonist inspired by his daughter.
