A photograph taken when he was one and a half years old shows him eating a few. Some of his later experiences led to his creating books. When he was four years old he sat on the tail of a ten-foot long alligator. Fortunately the alligator had been well fed. Out of that adventure grew one of his first published books, \u003ci\u003eAlligator Shoes\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Since 1980, he has written and\/or illustrated numerous popular titles about a broad variety of subjects from nonfiction, concept science books, to high-flying stories such as the award-winning \u003ci\u003eAbuela. \u003c\/i\u003eBefore he started making books he did many things: he worked as a carpenter, teacher, farm worker, longshoreman, and photographer at various times. He loves to travel, learning about and meeting people, and discovering similarities and differences around the world. As a writer and illustrator he brings what he finds into his books.
