A celebrated author, Holly Robinson Peete co-authored with her 12-year-old daughter the NAACP Image Award-winning My Brother Charlie, a children’s book about autism from the sibling’s perspective.

Holly’s singing talents have been displayed on theme songs for both “21 Jump Street” and “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper”, and she also did her own signing as Diana Ross in the miniseries “The Jacksons: An American Dream”. Robinson Peete says fondly that singing is her “first love and passion”.

Robinson Peete’s consumer friendly personal brand has partnered with Target, Toys”R”Us, Colgate , Skechers, Epipen and Carnation among others.

Holly Robinson Peete had her first experience in front of the camera at the age of four when she appeared on television opposite her father, Matthew Robinson who served as a producer and portrayed the original beloved character of “Gordon” on the award-winning children’s program “Sesame Street”.  While she knew even at that young age her calling was to be an actress, Holly opted to lead a typical childhood rather than searching to be the next child star.
