Martin Provenson, b. 1916, d.. 1987. Author and illustrator, with his wife Alice, of several delightful children’s picture books, including Caldecott Award winner, The Glorious Flight: Across the Channel with Louis Bleriot, also A Peaceable Kingdom: The Shaker Abecedarius and The Year at Maple Hill Farm.
Oh, we LOVE these books. I can still remember the funny names of some of the animals (Potato Who Disappeared in my personal favorite.) Boy, have I spent a lot of time reading Provensen books.
