關於作者：
Tomie dePaola Best known for his award-winning picture book
Strega Nona and for the 26 Fairmount Avenue series of chapter
books, Tomie dePaola is one of the most prolific -- and beloved --
authorillustrators in the field of children''s literature.
Biography Born in 1934 into a large extended IrishItalian family,
Tomie dePaola received his art education at Brooklyn''s Pratt
Institute and the California College of Arts Crafts. Although
he always wanted to create children''s books, he spent several years
applying his talents to the fields of education, theater, and
graphic design. In the mid-1960s, he received his first commission
to illustrate a children''s science book. A year later, he published
his first original picture book, The Wonderful Dragon of Timlin.
Today, he is one of the most prolific -- and beloved --
authorillustrators in children''s literature. In addition to
illustrating stories by other writers, DePaola has created artwork
for collections of poetry, nursery rhymes, holiday traditions, and
folk and religious tales. But, he is most famous for books of his
own creation, especially Strega Nona "Grandma Witch", the beloved
story of an old woman who uses her magical powers to help the
people of her small Italian village. Written in 1975, this
Caldecott Honor winner is still delighting children today. DePaola
admits that there are strong autobiographical elements in many of
his books Nana Upstairs Nana Downstairs, The Art Lesson,
Stagestruck, but nowhere is this more evident than in 26 Fairmount
Avenue, a series of charming chapter books based on his Connecticut
childhood. Taking its name from the address of his family home, the
series captures the experiences and emotions of a young boy growing
up in the late 1930s and early ''40s in the shadow of World War II.
The first book in the series received a 1999 Newbery Honor Award.
DePaola and his work have been recognized with many honors,
including the Smithsonian Medal, the Kerlan Award for "singular
attainment in children''s literature," the Catholic Library
Association''s Regina Medal, and several awards from the Society of
Children''s Book Writers and Illustrators. In 1999, the New
Hampshire State Council on the Arts bestowed on dePaola the Lotte
Jacobi Living Treasure Award for the body of his work. Good To Know
Tomie dePaola''s name is pronounced Tommy de POW-la. Between college
and graduate school, dePaola spent a short time in a Benedictine
monastery before determining that religious life was not for him.
Using a combination of watercolor, tempera, and acrylic, dePaola''s
artistic style is best described as folk-traditional. DePaola''s
favorite painters and strongest artistic influences are Matisse,
Giotto, and Ben Shahn. Hometown: Connecticut and New Hampshire Date
