Margaret Wise Brown (1910–1952) was a revolutionary American children's author best known for classics like Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. She is widely considered the "laureate of the nursery" for pioneering the "here and now" picture book, writing rhythmic, unsentimental stories focused on everyday objects and nature rather than fantasy.
Tibor Gergely (August 3, 1900 – January 13, 1978) was a Hungarian-American artist best known for his illustration of popular children's picture books.
