ELOISE WILKIN (1904-1987) 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 Books My Little Golden Book About God and Prayers for Childrenhave never been out of print.
