ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert McCloskey (1914-2003) wrote and illustrated some of the most honored and enduring children's books ever published, including Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, and Homer Price. He was the first artist to win the Caldecott Medal twice, for Make Way for Ducklings in 1942 and Time of Wonder in 1958.

His boyhood was spent in Hamilton, Ohio, and he attended the Vesper George School of Art in Boston. For most of his adult life, McCloskey lived in Maine, where he and his wife Peggy raised their two daughters, Sally and Jane. In 2000 Robert McCloskey was named a Living Legend by the Library of Congress.
