Wanda Gág

    Wanda Hazel Gág è stata un'autrice e illustratrice americana la cui eredità artistica è celebrata oggi principalmente attraverso i suoi classici libri per bambini. Cresciuta in una famiglia artisticamente incline, la sua infanzia fu ricca di arte, musica e amore, nonostante le difficoltà economiche. La sua opera, che spazia da espressive litografie a senza tempo narrazioni per bambini, rivela uno stile unico e una profonda comprensione dei suoi soggetti. Gág si affermò come una figura significativa nella letteratura per l'infanzia, lasciando un segno indelebile con il suo approccio distintivo e la sua creatività visiva.

Every letter in the alphabet is represented in Bunny's journey, through what he eats (Greens), to whom he meets (Insects, Jay, Kitten, Lizard), and then a little sleep (Nap), to Tripping back to town, right side Up and Up-side-down. The creation of The ABC Bunny was a Gág family affair, with sister Flavia composing the "ABC Song," included in this faithful edition; brother Howard penning the lettering; and Wanda writing and illustrating the story.
