Keeping tabs and authors (and illustrators) in LINKcat: Ann Grifalconi

Ann Grifalconi, Whose Children’s Books Bridged Cultures, Dies at 90.  (The New York Times, 3/4/2020)
Ms. Grifalconi, who was white, often based her books on the traditions and experiences of people from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, especially Africans and African-Americans. She said a trip to a remote hamlet in Cameroon had inspired her to write and illustrate “The Village of Round and Square Houses” (1986, Caldecott Honor Book in 1987), which recounts a local folk tale describing how women there came to live in round houses and men in square ones after a volcanic eruption.
