Happy birthday, Dorothy Canfield Fisher

It is the birthday of author and activist Dorothy Canfield Fisher (1897), who is credited with bringing The Montessori Method of early childhood education to the United States, advocating for women’s rights and lifelong education, and writing best-selling novels and short-story collections. The Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children’s Book Award honors new American children’s books. The annual winner is chosen by a vote of Vermont schoolchildren. The first award was presented to Old Bones, the Wonder Horse in 1957.

Happy birthday, Maurice Sendak

It is the birthday of beloved children's author and illustrator Maurice Sendak (1928) whose popular Where the Wild Things Are (1963) has delighted children for decades. With 19 million copies in print, it was a runaway bestseller. Sendak died last year from a stroke. An animated Google doodle is dedicated to Sendak, who would have been 85 today. Enjoy!
