Illustrators Born in January
This month, we're celebrating the imaginative worlds crafted by J.R.R. Tolkien, the surreal flair of Étienne Delessert, and the detailed artistry of Gustave Doré. Dive into the playful universes of Remy Charlip, experience the Roaring Twenties with John Held Jr., and explore the Australian bush through the eyes of Dorothy Wall and May Gibbs. Get cozy with Clement Hurd, meet Hugh Lofting's communicative animals, and enjoy wordless magic from Raymond Briggs and Brian Wildsmith. Embark on a visual journey around the world with A.M. Cassandre, meet the gentle friends illustrated by Rosemary Wells, and savor the sweet storytelling of Bill Peet. Happy January birthday to these literary greats!
