Rosemary Wells
MOTHER GOOSE
Rosemary Wells grew up in a house filled with “books,
dogs, and nineteenth-century music.” After a brief tenure
at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, shemarried
and began a career as a book designer, then
published her own first picture book in 1968.
From the start, Rosemary Wells’s work has been
recognized for its strong sense of humor and realism and
its gently rebellious approach to childhood. “I put into
my books all of the things I remember,” she says. “I am
an accomplished eavesdropper in restaurants, on trains,
and at gatherings of any kind. These remembrances are
jumbled up and changed, because fiction is always more
palatable than truth. Memories become more true as
they are honed and whittled into characters and stories.”
She has written more
than 120 books that
have received numerous honors; My Very First
Mother Goose was
named both a New York
Times Book Review Best
Illustrated Children’s
Book of the Year and a
Publishers Weekly Best
Children’s Book of the Year. From simple board books to
charming picture books to works of middle-grade fiction,
Rosemary Wells creates stories for every age that are
truer than true.
