7/6/2023 0 Comments Autoboyography review![]() This need to be consisted of in examining lists for secondary schools throughout the nation I was so surprised by Christina Lauren’s Autoboyography that I emailed 2 of my previous English teachers to encourage the book to them for their YA Lit programs they have. With a breezy storytelling style and delightful illustrations, Peet moves readers through the events of his life although the book runs nearly 200 pages, the drawings take up more than half. Also if you do not review modern-day YA you still REQUIRED to review this one. Still, it shines a revealing light on the inner workings at Disney, and readers are treated to the tale of how the classic song "When You Wish Upon a Star," from the Disney movie Pinocchio, came to be. The second half of the narrative mainly details the pressures Peet felt as a Disney employee, as well as his struggle to develop a solo career. The only element missing from the first part is a deeper sense of how Peet felt during the book's most poignant moments: being teased for not having his father around, and his father's sudden reappearance in his life, an event Peet says "marked the end of a happy childhood." ![]() ![]() The first half covers Peet's boyhood adventures in the Midwest with enjoyable tales about drawing and fishing. ![]() With tenderness and affection, Bill Peet spins his life story into a children's tale in this illustration-packed volume. ![]()
