ELOISE WILKIN (1904β1987) is one of the most beloved and prolific Golden Books illustrators. To many, her work embodies "that Little Golden Book feeling," as well as a certain time in America. Wilkin's loving depiction of the natural world, and her paintings of cherubic children, helped make Golden Books an icon. Her Little Golden BooksΒ My Little Golden Book About GodΒ andΒ Prayers for Childrenhave never been out of print.
