Joan Walsh Anglund has created another irresistible gem of a book that should be a favorite for years to come. From inside back cover: John Walsh Anglund was born in Hinsdale, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The child of artists, she found that drawing came as naturally to her as writing. And as a girl she spent long hours in the attic, reading and rereading her favorite books and drawing illustrations for them. Later, Mrs. Anglund studied drawing and painting at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art. The first book she both wrote and illustrated is “A Friend Is Someone Who Likes You”. Selected by the New York Times as one of the ten best illustrated children’s books of 1958, it became an immediate bestseller, making the author-artist a world-wide favorite. Since then she has created more than 25 titles, among them “Love Is a Special Way of Feeling”, “In a Pumpkin Shell”, “Brave Cowboy”, and “Morning Is a Little Child.” Mrs. Anglund lives with her family in Connecticut, and spends her summers on Nantucket Island. Her happy experiences with her granddaughter at Nantucket gave her the inspiration for the story book. ****** Ships with USPS media mail to verified addresses only within the continental United States. 041622
