About the Author
Ruth Krauss (1901-1993), a member of the experimental Writer"s Laboratory at the Bank Street School in New York City in the 1940s, imaginatively used humor and invented words to create some of the very first books for children that highlighted a child"s inner life. She collaborated with some of the greatest illustrators in children"s literature, including Maurice Sendak and her husband, Crockett Johnson.
Margot Ladd Tomes (1817–1991) was an American artist and illustrator of children’s books. Two books that she illustrated were cited by The New York Times as one of the best children’s books of the year, Jack and the Wonder Beans in 1977 and If There Were Dreams to Sell in 1984. She is also known for illustrating books by Jean Fritz (Homesick: My Own Story winning a Newbery Honor), Judith St. George and Aileen Fisher.
