Wanda Gág

    Wanda Hazel Gág was een Amerikaanse auteur en illustrator wiens artistieke nalatenschap vandaag de dag vooral wordt gevierd door haar klassieke kinderboeken. Opgegroeid in een artistiek ingestelde familie, werd haar jeugd, ondanks economische tegenspoed, omringd door kunst, muziek en liefde. Haar oeuvre, variërend van expressieve litho's tot tijdloze kindervertellingen, toont een unieke stijl en een diepgaand begrip van haar onderwerpen. Gág vestigde zich als een belangrijke figuur in de kinderliteratuur en liet een onuitwisbare indruk achter met haar kenmerkende aanpak en visuele creativiteit.

      A Newbery Honor Book (1934) An unfortunate accident with an Apple drives Bunny from Bunnyland to Elsewhere. Every letter in the alphabet is represented in Bunny's journey, through what he eats (Greens), to whom he meets (Insects, Jay, Kitten, Lizard), and then a little sleep (Nap), to Tripping back to town, right side Up and Up-side-down. The creation of The ABC Bunny was a Gág family affair, with sister Flavia composing the "ABC Song," included in this faithful edition; brother Howard penning the lettering; and Wanda writing and illustrating the story.

      Named a Newbery Honor Book in 1929, this read-aloud classic was called an outstanding example of a book in which text and illustrations seem to flow together by Charlotte S. Huck in Children's Literature. With its cumulative rhythms and repetitions in both text and graphics, it remains a childhood favorite.
