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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. Mr. Dorros currently lives in Seattle, Washington, and enjoys visiting schools throughout the US and internationally to speak with students about telling their own stories. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition to the much-appreciated reactions of his readers, his works have been selected as Reading Rainbow Books, ALA Notable Book, American Bookseller Pick of the Lists, NCSS Notable Trade Books in the Field of Social Studies, Parent's Choice Award, Storytime Public TV Selection, and \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e Editors' Choice, among other commendations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Puffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305022542053,"sku":"NP9780140547344","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780140547344.jpg?v=1767721328","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/alligator-shoes-isbn-9780140547344","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
