(Mary) Carolyn Haywood, a lifelong Philadelphian, was born on January 3, 1898. After graduating from Philadelphia High School for Girls, Carolyn attended Philadelphia Normal School and briefly taught at Friends Central School. She enrolled in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) on a scholarship in 1919. She received a travel award and spent a year in Europe, returning to graduate from PAFA in 1924. Haywood considered herself a "grand-pupil" of the illustrator Howard Pyle, studying under several of his former students, notably Violet Oakley, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Jessie Wilcox Smith (known collectively as "The Red Rose Girls"). The Red Rose Girls influenced Haywood's early style. Haywood worked as a studio assistant to the artist Violet Oakley, who provided her with opportunities to paint murals around Philadelphia and at the Vassar College alumni house. Haywood became interested in pursuing children's book illustration, and brought some of her work to Harcourt, Brace and World juvenile book editor Elizabeth Hamilton. The result was 1939's B Is for Betsy, which served as an introduction to one of Haywood's most enduring characters. It was quickly followed by six more books for Harcourt. Haywood followed Elizabeth Hamilton to William Morrow and Company, which published Little Eddie, the first of the "Eddie Wilson" books, in 1947. Haywood illustrated several books written by other authors and continued to write children's books until her death on January 11, 1990.
