His latest book, actually books, is the Teresa Rodriguez soccer book trilogy (COUNTERATTACK, THE COMEBACK and THE LAST CHANCE), published in July 2025.
Peter began writing children's books in earnest in 2019 after closing his law practice.
Aronson's first two middle-grade books were part of his nonfiction Groundbreaker Series, about extraordinary individuals doing extraordinary things: BRONISLAW HUBERMAN: FROM CHILD PRODIGY TO HERO, THE VIOLINIST WHO SAVED JEWISH MUSICIANS FROM THE HOLOCAUST was published in 2018. JEANNETTE RANKIN: AMERICA'S FIRST CONGRESSWOMAN was published in 2019.
Aronson’s third book was a middle-grade novel, MANDALAY HAWK’S DILEMMA: THE UNITED STATES OF ANTHROPOCENE, published in 2021. It’s about young teens fighting global warming.
Kirkus Reviews called it: “A scathing work and an essential blueprint for youth battling climate change."
In September 2024, Aronson started The Practical Altruism Project. The project publishes profiles of inspiring individuals who work as volunteers for nonprofits applying their career-learned skills. (praticalaltruism.com)
