"Tomie dePaola was born in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1934 to a family of Irish and Italian background. By the time he could hold a pencil, he knew what his life's work would be. His determination to create books for children led to a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and an MFA from the California College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland, California.

It drove him through the years of teaching, designing greeting cards and stage sets, and painting church murals until 1965, when he illustrated his first children's book, Sound, by Lisa Miller for Coward-McCann. Eventually, freed of other obligations, he plunged full time into both writing and illustrating children's books.

He names Fra Angelico and Giotto, Georges Rouault, and Ben Shahn as major influences on his work, but he soon found his own unique style. His particular way with color, line, detail, and design have earned him many of the most prestigious awards in his field, among them a Caldecott Honor Award for Strega Nona, the Smithsonian Medal from the Smithsonian Institution, the Kerlan Award from the University of Minnesota for his ""singular attainment in children's literature,"" the Catholic Library Association's Regina Medal for his ""continued distinguished contribution,"" and the University of Southern Mississippi Medallion. He was also the 1990 United States nominee for the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for illustration.

Tomie dePaola has published almost 200 children's books in fifteen different countries. He remains one of the most popular creators of books for children, receiving more than 100,000 fan letters each year.

Tomie lives in an interesting house in New Hampshire with his four dogs. His studio is in a large renovated 200-year-old barn.

- He has been published for over 30 years.

- Over 5 million copies of his books have sold worldwide.

- His books have been published in over 15 different countries.

- He receives nearly 100,000 fan letters each year.

Tomie dePaola has received virtually every significant recognition for his books in the children's book world, including:

- Caldecott Honor Award from American Library Association

- Newbery Honor Award from American Library Association

- Smithson Medal from Smithsonian Institution

- USA nominee in illustration for Hans Christian Andersen Medal

- Regina Medal from Catholic Library Association

Perfect for baby's first Easter basket!
Adorable book! Cute and classic looking illustrations. I don't love Easter books that mention candy and while this one does make reference to what we assume is candy it doesn't specifically call it candy. It shows an image of what I'm assuming are chocolate bunnies and candy eggs in a basket (see image), it could easily be explained to a child as stuffed toy bunnies and regular eggs to eat. The book also talks about coloring eggs and wearing your nice Easter clothes. Overall, adorable and I recommend for every first Easter basket!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Images of Easter and Spring!
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2007
Verified Purchase
This is a sturdy, durable board book that contains simple yet lovely illustrations of seasonal novelties such as baby animals born in Spring, Easter lilies and bonnets, the Easter Bunny bringing baskets, and the whole family coloring eggs together and participating in an Easter egg hunt on the farm. It takes a quiet, simple, secular approach to presenting Easter and Spring concepts, and, therefore, it is perfectly appropriate for any young child. The emphasis of this book is more on illustration than on text or storyline which is fine because it elicits conversation and the opportunity to teach an infant/toddler about the images depicted. My son just had his second Easter and he still enjoys the illustrations -- specifically finding and pointing out all the eggs and bunnies throughout the book. The only complaint I have is that I wish this book was longer! It positively oozes old-fashioned charm and is sure to please both children and parents alike.

This was a great Easter basket gift for each of the 3(!) babies that have been born in the past year in my family. Each family is different and I appreciate that this book is not religion based so that there are no awkward moments. It is short & sweet, adorably illustrated, a good size and well made. Great find!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ART work for little ones
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2014
Verified Purchase
Tomie's art work is great for little ones as the lines are bold, the colors simple and the images clear. The pages are focused with no overcrowding. Perfect for toddlers. Yes, Tomie dePaulo's board books in this wonderful series are too large for little hands to hold but great for adults to read to them. And should the little ones pull at the book, the pages are strong cardboard and will not rip. I have purchased this and many in this series (My First Easter, My First Christmas, My First Book of Carols, My First Mother Goose, My First Book of Rhymes, etc.) for my nephews and nieces from ages 1 to 5. Good for first readers, too! Wonderful!

5.0 out of 5 stars 子供たちに復活祭に「すること」について教えるのに最適
Reviewed in Japan on March 30, 2013
Verified Purchase
幼児向け英語プレイグループで使いました。
復活祭にすること、卵を色づけしたり、探したり、大まかな文化的なことが、やさしい英語で書いてあり、3歳前後の子供たちにはちょうど良かったと思います。卵の上がエンボスというか、でこぼこしていて、「さわってごらん」「見つけてごらん」と言うと、子供たちは競って本の周りに（軽くケンカが起きるくらい）。
もう少し大きくなったら、宗教的な意味を知るのも楽しいかもしれませんが、幼児にはちょうどいい内容だと思います。また、絵も優しい色合いで可愛かったです。
