Clare Turlay Newberry (1903-1970) was born in Eugene, Oregon. She
studied art at the University of Oregon, School of the Portland Art
Museum, the California School of Fine Arts, and La Grand Chaumi�re
in Paris, France. She received the Caldecott Honor for four of her
books: T-Bone, The Baby Sitter (1951); Marshmallow (1943); April's
Kittens (1941); and Barkis (1939).
In Ms. Newberry's own words, "Every word of marshmallow is true,
even to the drawing of them wrapped in each other's arms. I know
people find this hard to believe, but the bunny was so little and
was so convinced that Oliver was his mother, what could Oliver do
but be his mother the best way he could?"
