Even as a kid, everyone thought Jeff Kinney was talented. People loved his drawings, and when he went to college, his comic strip Igdoof was so popular that it spread to other universities! Still, Jeff faced challenges. His cartoons were rejected by syndicates that claimed his art was unprofessional. Then, an idea struck: Jeff would write a journal from the perspective of a child, illustrated with doodles just like a kid might do. And so, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series was born--and it was a hit! In this biography, Jeff's brother, Patrick Kinney, provides a knowledgeable look at the life of this best-selling author/illustrator. From Jeff's childhood pranks to his job developing online games, kids will love the chance to learn more about the creator of the popular Wimpy Kid books. Review: Who is... Great books - I love the Who is series. I bought this book to pair with the newest Wimpy Kid book as a gift. Review: Great book for both kids and parents - As usual these books are great. My kids learn a lot reading those while me and I know other parents read them too. Several reviewers commented that this particular book was about an unknown author. For lots of kids aged 8 and up this author is very well known since he wrote a very successful series of books. It thus Makes a lot of sense that a book about him be written for kids.

Great resource on this popular author's biography
It was a main source for my 3rd grade son's "wax museum" school project, where he had to do biography presentation on the famous person. All 3 of my sons love the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and read the books throughout elementary school. What I love/appreciate is that these books gave my boys a love of reading because they were funny and relatable. This is interesting, well written, by his brother! 😊 My sons love the "Who Was?" series for nonfiction kid-friendly biographies. They're very well done.
