Biography

Trina Schart Hyman was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1939. She spent her youth and early adulthood exploring various forms of art. After attending the Philadelphia Museum College of Art, Boston Museum School of the Arts, and Konstfackskolan (a Swedish state art school), she became the art director for Cricket, a children's literary magazine. Hyman's works are unique in that they portray her "fantastical" imagination. Before her death in 2004, Hyman was the illustrator of more than 150 books. She won the Caldecott Award for her illustrations in Saint George and the Dragon. Other illustrations from books such as Little Red Riding Hood, Herschel and the Hanukkah Goblins, and A Child's Calendar, have also received high recognition.
