Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: Joan Walsh Anglund

 

LINKcat

New York Times, 3/30/2021

That book, “A Friend Is Someone Who Likes You” (1958), sold more than four million copies and was named one of The New York Times’s 10 best illustrated books of the year. It was the first of a cavalcade of more than 120 children’s books that Ms. Anglund would produce over the next half-century. They have been translated into multiple languages and sold more than 50 million copies around the world. 

If you didn’t know Ms. Anglund’s stories, you probably knew her drawings of children: Their faces were blank orbs with just two wide-set dots for eyes. They became ubiquitous, appearing on Hallmark cards, dolls and ceramics, as Anglund merchandise secured a prominent niche in the collectibles market.
