REMEMBERING TOMIE on February 13, 2021

Editor Nora Cohen and Art Director and book designer Nanette Stevenson, dressed as Mother Goose from TOMIE DEPAOLA’S MOTHER GOOSE at a G. P. Putnam’s Sons celebration for the publication of the book in November, 1985.

Nanette was a major influence in Tomie’s book career. They had a loving, frank, and occasionally disagreeable relationship. Tomie spent hundreds (thousands?) of dollars sending Nanette flowers, as apologies, after telephone arguments. (Bob)
