June 27, 1946

Wanda Gag died on June 27, 1946. She translated the Grimm brothers fairy tales, and wrote herself children's stories, such as "Millions of Cats" which was a ground breaking work in 1928. Gag's book which she illustrated also, was the first picture book which did not have a picture on one page, and the text on the facing page. Gag used the entire two page spread for one large illustration, which carried the story.
