But since black cats are commonly known for being "bad luck", he decided to go with blue instead! https://petethecat.com/pages/bio]]> 2019-01-28 17:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325050998 ashleybray130 https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325053048 James father was an artist, and James later in his life decided to start making art as well! He has sold his art in over 90 galleries, and he has always loved cats! His wife Kim has also helped him with his work. He created Pete the Cat, and has also helped write some of the books! ]]> 2019-01-28 17:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325053048 ashleybray130 https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325055780 Eric was driving around town, and saw that James Dean was an illustrator! They later met, and Eric said, " Lets make a book about your cat!" They made Pete the Cat - I love my white shoes, and since then created a few more books together. Sadly, they have parted ways -- and now James and Kimberly Dean mainly write/illustrate the more recent Pete the Cat books. ]]> 2019-01-28 17:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325055780 ashleybray130 https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325056920 PETE THE CAT - & His FOUR GROOVY BUTTONS]]> 2019-01-28 17:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325056920 ashleybray130 https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325058235 2019-01-28 17:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325058235 ashleybray130 https://padlet.com/ashleybray130/iyhdovb6bfu5/wish/325058792 Eric Litwin is inspired by Folk Songs and Folk Tales - and loves to incorporate music into his books!
