[LM_NET] GEN: Tasha Tudor

[Josephine Dervan <dervan@OPTONLINE.NET>]

I'm not sure if this was mentioned before. I couldn't find a reference in the 
archives. However Tasha Tudor, the Caldecott winning illustrator, passed away in 
June.
 
Tasha Tudor (August 28, 1915-June 18, 2008) is one of America’s best-known and 
beloved illustrators.  Her first little story, Pumpkin Moonshine, was published in 
1938.
She illustrated nearly one hundred books, the last being the 2003 release, The 
Corgiville Christmas.  She received many awards and honors, including  Caldecott 
Honors for Mother Goose and 1 is One. Many of her books are printed in foreign 
languages and distributed around the world.  She also created thousand of Christmas 
cards, Advent calendars, valentines, posters, and other works throughout her 70 
year career.  
Her family has set up a 
website with information about her and items she created for purchase:
