Beloved children’s book
illustrator and author Rosemary Wells has been creating classic picture books
since the 1970s. Her stories often use animal characters rather than humans,
allowing her to address sophisticated, controversial topics in a way that is
charmingly accessible. She is best known for the timeless Max and Ruby series,
which follows the everyday adventures of sibling bunnies. Other favorites
include Noisy Nora, Hands Off Harry, Yoko, and the McDuff series. Rosemary
Wells grew up in New York City in a house “filled with books, dogs, and
nineteenth-century music.” She now lives in upstate New York.
