About the Author

Gale Wiersum (Author) When Golden Books launched in 1942 at 25 cents each, they changed publishing history. For the first time, children's books were high quality and low-priced. They were available to almost all children, not just a privileged few. Since then, over two billion Golden Books have reached the hands of children all over the world. Many famous writers and illustrators created Golden books and today they are a worldwide icon.
