Biographical History
Leonard P. Kessler is an author and illustrator; many of his books are written with his wife, Ethel Kessler, and are self illustrated. His work was included in the New York Times choice of best illustrated childrens books (1954, 1955, 1957).
Leonard P. Kessler was born on October 28, 1921 in Ohio. He began writing and illustrating books for children with What's In a Line? (1951) and Farther and Faster (1953). Many of his books were co-written with his wife, Ethel, including Plink, Plink! Goes the Water in My Sink (1954) and Art is Everywhere (1958). Most of the illustrations in Kessler's work were simple and childlike, and the text showed a good understanding of children's vocabulary. He was awarded the New York Times best illustrated children's books award three times: in 1954 for Fast Is Not a Ladybug and in 1955 for Heavy Is a Hippopotamus, both by Miriam Schlein; and in 1957 for Big Red Bus, which was co-written by his wife, Ethel. Throughout his prolific career, Kessler has created illustrations for over 200 books.
