Van Allsburg Birthday

June 18

Chris Van Allsburg was born June 18, 1949, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He has won the Caldecott Honor several times for his work writing books for children, including “The Polar Express” in 1985. He attended the University of Michigan and received an MFA degree from Rhode Island School of Design. One of his trademarks in his work can be found in his illustrations’ perspective. The scenes are frequently viewed from a child's height.
