Who Is Jeff Kinney?

Who Is Jeff Kinney? traces the life of the beloved author-illustrator from a kid who loved drawing practical jokes and funny stories to a college student whose comic strip Igdoof became wildly popular, through the years of rejection his cartoons faced before he had the idea that would change everything: writing a child's diary filled with doodles, which became Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Written by Jeff's own brother Patrick Kinney, this biography offers an intimate, insider's look at the creative journey behind one of the best-selling children's book series of all time. This is a fun and motivating choice for students, especially fans of the Wimpy Kid books, because it shows that creative success often comes after persistence through rejection and failure.
