Happy Birthday Helen Oxenbury!

Helen Oxenbury was born on June 2, 1938. She is considered by many to be the essential baby storytime author and illustrator! 


The books which she has lovingly illustrated and authored are portraits of sentimentality and the quiet simplicity of infancy. The inspiration for her board books lay in the sleepless nights spent with her daughter who was suffering from infantile eczema. 


Below you will find an interview with the consummate illustrator/author who has made the beauty of pictures speak to even the youngest children.
