September 30 - Edgar D'Aulaire is 1/2 of a truly creative couple of author/illustrators. I have copies of their books of Greek Mythology
and Norse Mythology
that I got when I was 10, and I still refer to them to this day. The illustrations are gorgeous - full of color, just the way I like them!
October 3 - Munro Leaf, the author of The Story of Ferdinand
This story holds a special place in our hearts because our wonderful Fiona
was the living example of Ferdinand. She always had to stop and smell all, and I stress all, the flowers. Walks with her were extended, to say the least.
