Marjorie Flack was born on October 22, 1897. Her most well-known book, thanks to Captain Kangaroo, is The Story About Ping\u00a0<\/i>(illus. by Kurt Wiese). Ms. Flack was given a Caldecott Honor in 1947 for her book, The Boats on the River<\/i> (Viking), which was illustrated by Jay Hyde Barnum.<\/p>\n

Barbara Bader, in her book\u00a0American Picture Books from Noah’s Ark to The Beast Within,\u00a0<\/i>proposes that “Marjorie Flack drew, but not very well; she wrote, but she wasn’t a writer; what she had was a feel for stories\u2014situations, for the most part\u2014that would tell well in words and pictures and a knack for dramatizing them: a true picturebook sense.” This storytelling ability was evident in her Angus books and another children’s favorite she illustrated, The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes.<\/i> Marjorie Flack died in 1958.<\/p>\n
