Tomorrow is Mary Pope Osborne's birthday! You love her even if you don't recall her name. She wrote the Magic Treehouse series that so much of you loved a couple of years ago! We have many, many of the novels here at the IS as well. So check one out and you can take a trip down memory lane.
In the meantime, check out this info about the author from the Magic Treehouse website: Mary Pope Osborne was born into adventure. Her dad was in the army, so every year or two her family would move to a different state, or even a different country! By the time she was fifteen, Mary had lived in thirteen different houses and gone to eight different schools! Writing children's books was a perfect career for Mary because she could still travel all over the world — but be back home in time for dinner. She has written almost a hundred books, including biographies, mysteries, picture books, novels and retellings of fairy tales and world mythology. One of the greatest adventures of Mary's writing life is the creative journey she takes with her readers, meeting them in person in schools and bookstores and reading the wonderful stories and letters they send. This, Mary says, is true magic.
