Good Books for Bad Children: The Genius of Ursula Nordstrom
Beth Kephart
This picture-book biography follows Ursula Nordstrom from a lonely childhood and boarding-school years to her work in children’s publishing. As a mid-twentieth-century editorial force, she published children’s books that were funny, naughty, scary, and true. The account links her to books she published, including Harriet the Spy, Charlotte’s Web, Stevie, Goodnight Moon, and Where the Wild Things Are. It also names Maurice Sendak, E. B. White, and Margaret Wise Brown among the people she worked with.
