Ann Rinaldi, b. 1934. Ms. Rinaldi may be my two teenage daughters’ favorite historical novelist. You can find many titles by Ann Rinaldi, mostly based on American historical figures, in these two lists:

Historical Fiction for Young Ladies, Part 1.

Historical Fiction for Young Ladies, Part 2.

Also born on this date:

Lyndon Baines Johnson, b. 1908.
