Leo Lionni
Leo Lionni was an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist. Born in Holland, he lived in Italy until 1939, when he moved to the United States. He received the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal and, posthumously in 2007, the Society of Illustrators’ Lifetime Achievement Award.
Lionni’s picture books are recognized for their enduring moral themes, graphic simplicity, and brilliant use of collage. Among his notable works are four Caldecott Honor Books:
- Inch by Inch
- Frederick
- Swimmy
- Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse
The Chicago Tribune described him as “a master of the simple fable.” Leo Lionni died in 1999 at the age of 89.
