Her classic book, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel was ranked as one of the Teachers’ top 100 Books for Children by the National Education Association and has been a perennial favor- ite since its publication in 1938. She won the 1943 Caldecott Medal for The Little House and a 1948 Caldecott Honor for The Song of Robin Hood. Born in 1909 in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, she spent much of her life in Folly Cove, an artist’s community in Gloucester Massachusetts with her husband George Demetrios, an ac- complished sculptor.
