Wanda Gag, children’s author and illustrator, was born on this day in 1893 in Minnesota. She was the eldest of seven children born to parents of Bohemian descent (where exactly is Bohemia?). My favorite book of hers is called Gone is Gone: The Story of a Man Who Wanted to Do Housework, but she is most famous for the book Millions of Cats. I like the comedy of the Scandinavian man trying to do the housework and getting it all wrong.
