Marcia Brown Has Passed On
“Ms. Brown was one of only two artists — the other is David Wiesner — to receive the Caldecott Medal three times. She also illustrated six Caldecott Honor Books, as the runners-up are known, among them The Steadfast Tin Soldier, an adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen story; Puss in Boots, from Perrault; and Stone Soup. As an illustrator, she employed a diverse range of styles and media, including woodcuts, collage, pen-and-ink drawings, watercolors and gouache.” (The New York Times)
