Re: TARGET: ELEM: dePaola autobiographical stories

[Kim Gordon <gordons@eisa.net.au>]

Dear Laura

I found this information at  http://www2.opendoor.com/bingley/FAQ.html

Q: Are some of Tomie's books true?
A: Yes.
   The "26 Fairmount Avenue" chapter books are autobiographical.
            26 FAIRMOUNT AVENUE
            HERE WE ALL ARE (to be published April 3, 2000)
            ON MY WAY (to be published Spring 2001)
   NANA UPSTAIRS & NANA DOWNSTAIRS is autobiographical.
   WATCH OUT FOR THE CHICKEN FEET IN YOUR SOUP is very loosely based on
    childhood experiences.
   OLIVER BUTTON IS A SISSY is loosely based on childhood experiences.
   NOW ONE FOOT, NOW THE OTHER is very loosely based on childhood
    experiences.
   THE ART LESSON is mostly autobiographical.
   TOM is mostly autobiographical.
   THE BABY SISTER is mostly autobiographical.

Best wishes
