Today is writer/illustrator Garth Williams’ birthday! #UrsulaNordstrom and #EBWhite chose him to illustrate STUART LITTLE and CHARLOTTE’S WEB. Ursula asked also him to illustrate the reprinted LITTLE HOUSE series. His own book, THE RABBITS' WEDDING, stirred up segregationists in 1958. #kidlit

The cover shows Stuart, a diminutive mouse, paddling a canoe down a river.

The cover shows Charlotte holding the pig, Wilbur. The goose and the lamb are standing beside her. Charlotte is looking at a spider hanging from a web in front of her. Also the title is held within a web.

The cover shows a white rabbit and a black rabbit together. The black rabbit is holding yellow flowers and the white rabbit is putting them behind her ears. The background is a meadow scene with trees in the background. The foreground is a small stream. The rabbits look happy.
