Miska Petersham

Lawrence Webster

Maud Fuller Petersham

The Petershams were pivotal figures in the history of American children's book publishing and illustration. They lived in Woodstock, New York from 1920 to the 1960s and wrote and/or illustrated more than 100 books. The fruits of their partnership were embraced by readers, parents and critics. Their work garnered national recognition via awards like the Caldecott Honor and Medal. This full-color book (146 color images and 56 black-and-white images) will serve as the companion to the forthcoming Woodstock Artists Association and Museum's Petersham exhibition that runs from October 6 to December 31, 2012.
