Alicia's Favorites: About the Author

So here are some interesting facts about Audrey Wood that I particularly like:

~ Audrey Wood spent a great deal of her infancy around the circus.

~ Audrey has a very strong relationship with her husband, Don. I admire the passion they share when it comes to working together. I don't know too many people who can read children's literature during their honeymoon!

~ Most of the illustrations on Audrey Wood's books are by her husband, Don, or her son, Bruce. I think it's nice that the whole family is involved in this collective art of creating children's books.

~ When Don illustrated "The Napping House," he used his home with Audrey as the model house! There are two dogs, a cat, a bird, and a turtle living in the Napping House with Audrey and Don.
