{"value"=>"<p>Marilyn Brooke Goffstein was an American author, artist, photographer and painter renowned for her illustrations 2 3/4 by 3 1/4 inches in size, and the stories she told in as little as seven sentences. Awarded the Caldecott Medal and Jane Addams Children's Book Award, her themes are rich in friendship, family, natural history, and following one's vocation.</p> <p>She was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on December 20, 1940, attended St. Paul Central High School, and graduated from Bennington College, Vermont, in 1962. Author of more than 30 books for children and adults, Goffstein also taught the art of children's books at New York's Parsons School of Design and University of Minnesota's Split Rock summer program. After a long illness, Goffstein died on her 77th birthday, December 20, 2017.</p>"}
