Helen Moore Sewell was born on June 27, 1896. Many will recognize her artwork from the original Little House books, some of which she co-illustrated with Mildred Boyle, but her career began much earlier. In fact, by age 8 she had already decided she was going to be an artist, and by 12 she had become the youngest person to ever attend the Pratt Institute.<\/p>\n

Some of her first serious sales were to the Christmas and greeting card markets, and in 1924 she became a published children’s book illustrator with The Cruise of the Little Dipper and Other Fairy Stories<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Children were always an important part of Sewell’s life. “It was natural that I should turn to making pictures for children,” she once said. “Good art for children must be intelligible to them, so I have always gone to children for my cue and inspiration, and I have found them a rewarding and appreciative public.” Ms. Sewell died in 1957.<\/p>\n
