"As far back as I can remember I did nothing but draw."
It is no surprise, then, that Rosemary Wells has made a living as an author and illustrator, contributing over 60 titles to the children's literary world. Most of her books are of animals, which she says she draws best, and her work appeals to a wide range of ages and interests.
You may recognize titles like the Max and Ruby series, Noisy Nora (1973), Unfortunately Harriet (1972), The Man in the Woods (2000) or Mary on Horseback: Three Mountain Stories (1998).
In her opinion, "emotion and character and humor are what makes a children's book right."
