Background:
The U.S. Postal Service has issued a stamp honoring famed children's book author and illustrator Tomie dePaola. DePaola is a highly acclaimed author of folktales, informational books, religious and vacation stories, and autobiographical tales. His seemingly simple but deeply emotional stories appeal to readers of all ages. His best-known works include the picture book series “Strega Nona”, set in southern Italy, which tells the light-hearted and humorous story of a grandmother witch who uses her magic to help people solve their problems. The series was awarded the Caldecott Medal as one of the most outstanding picture books of the year. Deborah's illustrations have a bright, muted color palette and use a flat, two-dimensional perspective that blends Romanesque painting styles with traditional folk art. Symbolic objects such as hearts and white birds often appear in his work. Through his works, Deborah sought to convey three fundamental truths: Success depends on hard work, happiness depends on accepting your true self, and love and kindness are the foundation of everything. In recognition of his influence and contributions, he was honored by the American Library Association with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for Outstanding Contributions to Children's Literature.
