Virginia Lee Burton
Virginia Lee Burton won the Caldecott Medal in 1943 for her memorable picture book ,The Little House,, a poignant story of a cute country cottage that becomes engulfed by the city that grows up around it. The house has an expressive face of windows and doors, and even the feelings of a person, so sheâ€™s sad when sheâ€™s surrounded by the dirty, noisy cityâ€™s hustle and bustle: â€œShe missed the field of daisies / and the apple trees dancing in the moonlight.â€ Fortunately, thereâ€™s a happy ending, as the house is taken back to the country where she belongs.
