Today, a hug from Tomie dePaola. This beloved children's book author created stories that have inspired children and adults alike across the globe. dePaola's whimsical, folk-inspired art style paired beautifully with his honest, earnest way of telling stories. He used his experiences to inspire others, while celebrating the best of us. He believed in hope, and he believed in the young people he wrote for, as do we.
