Biographical
Sketch
Juliet Kepes, nee Appleby, was born June 29, 1919, in London, England.
She came to the United States in 1937. She studied art in England, and later at
the Chicago School of Design. She began illustrating and writing children's
books in the 1950s, and received a Caldecott Honor citation for
Five Little Monkeys in 1952. Many of her books
feature animals, especially monkeys, and are noted for their bright colors and
style, along with a sense of humor and playfulness. Her texts are simple and
easy for children to understand and appreciate. She has also illustrated other
authors' works over the past few decades.
