In honor of my 19 year-old cat Maggie May who passed this week--This author/illustrator from Oregon began drawing cats at age 2. She studied art in Paris hoping to become a portrait artist but devoted herself instead to painting cats. Her book Mittens, about a cat with six toes, became a best-seller soon after it came out in 1936. This is Clare Turlay Newberry.
