Leo Lionni
Leo Lionni was an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist. Born in Holland, he lived in Italy until he came to the United States in 1939. He was the recipient of the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal and was honored posthumously in 2007 with the Society of Illustrators’ Lifetime Achievement Award.
Lionni’s picture books are distinguished by their enduring moral themes, graphic simplicity, and brilliant use of collage. His notable works include four Caldecott Honor Books: Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse.
Hailed as “a master of the simple fable” by the Chicago Tribune, Leo Lionni died in 1999 at the age of 89.
