The illustrator, Ed Emberley, will celebrate his birthday on October 19th. He is best known for his instructional drawing books graded to the early elementary school level. He has illustrated over 50 books and won the Caldecott Medal for his illustrations for Drummer Hoff-- which was written by his wife, Barbara Emberley. There has been a renewed interest in his work now that his audience has grown up and are having children.
I remember checking Ed Emberley books out of the library in elementary school and spending hours trying to perfect my people and animals!
