Biography
Andrew Peterson is known for The Wingfeather Saga (2022), The Wingfeather Saga: A Crow for the Carriage (2017) and The Slugs & Bugs Show (2019). For more than twenty years now, Andrew Peterson has been about the business of quietly changing lives in four-minute increments. In the city of Nashville where music is an industry in the same way fast food, generic greeting cards, and bumper stickers are industries, Peterson has forged his own path, refusing the artistic compromises that so often come with chasing album sales and radio singles and creating instead a long line of songs that ache with sorrow, joy and integrity, and that are, at the end of the day, part of a real, ongoing, human conversation. In 2019, Andrew celebrated the 20th anniversary of his Behold the Lamb of God project with an anniversary tour and brand new album recording. Andrew is also the award-winning author of The Wingfeather Saga, a four-book fantasy adventure series for young people, described as The Princess Bride meets The Lord of the Rings. The books have been re-released as collectible hardcover editions through Penguin Random House in 2020, and production is underway on the first season of the animated series through Angel Studios (The Chosen), set to release in 2022. Andrew’s second nonfiction book, The God of the Garden: Thoughts on Creation, Culture, and the Kingdom, will release in October of 2021, which follows his 2019 memoir, Adorning the Dark: Thoughts on Community, Calling, and the Mystery of Making, book released through B&H Publishers. In 2008, driven by a desire to cultivate a strong Christian arts community, Andrew founded a ministry called The Rabbit Room, which led to a yearly conference, countless concerts and symposiums, and Rabbit Room Press, which has published over thirty books to date. Andrew and his wife, Jamie, have been married for over 24 years and have three children, Aedan, Asher, and Skye. In his spare time Andrew keeps bees, builds dry stack stone walls, gardens, draws, and sleeps.

The Slugs & Bugs Show!
Once upon a time, in a cottage above the cliffs on the Dark Sea of Darkness, there lived three children and their trusty dog Nugget. Janner Igiby, his brother Tink, and his sister Leeli are gifted children as all children are. Together they discover the secret of the Jewels of the Shining Isle. They will need their special gifts and all the love of their noble mother and ex-pirate grandfather to survive the venomous Fangs, sea dragons, flabbits, and (gulp) toothy cows! The Wingfeather Saga blends the whimsy and heart of THE PRINCESS BRIDE with the vastness and peril of THE LORD OF THE RINGS. After living for years under occupation by the evil Fangs of Dang, the Igiby children find a map rumored to lead to the lost Jewels of Anniera---the one thing the Fangs will do anything to find---and the family is thrown headlong into a perilous adventure, uncovering hidden truths about who they are that will change their world forever.
