Don Freeman (1908-1978) was the author and illustrator of many
popular books for children, including Corduroy, A Pocket for
Corduroy, and the Caldecott Honor Book Fly High, Fly Low. During
his career as an artist, sketching impressions of Broadway shows
for the New York Times and The Herald Tribune, he was introduced to
the world of children's literature when William Saroyan asked him
to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and
illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and
happily. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime,
perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear
named Corduroy.
Alison Inches is the author of over 80 books for children. She
lives in Mill Valley, California.
