"Johnny Maple-Leaf" by Alvin Tresselt, illustrated by Roger Duvoisin (1948)


ROGER DUVOISIN (1900 – 1980) was born in Geneva, Switzerland and came to the United States in 1925. Among his more than 40 children’s books, he is best known for those featuring Veronica the conspicuous hippopotamus, and Petunia the silly goose. He received the Caldecott Medal in 1947 for illustrating Alvin Tresselt's White Snow, Bright Snow, and a Caldecott Honor in 1966 for Hide and Seek Fog, also written by Tresselt. In 1968 he was a highly commended runner-up for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award for children's illustrators.
