Gerald McDermott was born January 31, 1941, in Detroit, Michigan. He received a B.F.A. from the Pratt Institute of Design in 1964, and later worked as a graphic designer and filmmaker. In 1972 he published his first retelling of a folktale, Anansi the Spider: A Tale from the Ashanti . The book retold a West African folktale about a spider that must decide which of his six sons to reward after each saves his life. The book received a Caldecott Honor Book citation in 1973. McDermott received the Caldecott Medal in 1975 for another illustrated retelling of a folktale, Arrow to the Sun . Critics praised both books and McDermott's innovative style and blending of modern design techniques, vibrant colors, primitive art traditions and straightforward narratives. His books were also lauded for depicting complex and archetypal fold symbols of various world cultures. He has continued to retell and illustrate folktales and myths from around the world, and critics have continued to praise his stories as entertaining and appealing to adult readers as well as to young audiences.
