Esphyr Slobodkina (the name is pronounced ess-FEER

sloh-BOD-kee-nah) was born in the Siberian town of Chelyabinsk on

Sept. 22, 1908.

Esphyr immigrated to the United States on a student visa at the age

of 29. She enrolled at the National Academy of Design, NYC, and in

the 1930s, she worked painting lamp shades and soon after murals

for the WPA. Esphyr was a founding member of the American Abstract

Artists, which began amid controversy in 1936.

In 1937 Slobodkina met the children's author Margaret Wise Brown.

In an effort to find work as an illustrator, Slobodkina wrote and

illustrated a story with collage called Mary And The Poodies to

present to Brown. This began a new career for Slobodkina, who

illustrated many children's stories for Ms. Brown (including Sleepy

ABCs and the Big and Little series) while still continuing her work

as an abstract artist.

In her autobiography, (portions available through this web-site)

Ms. Slobodkina wrote, "When Margaret died, I was left without a

writer, and since she always insisted that she liked the way I told

my stories, I took a deep breath and began to send them to my

agent." Ms. Slobodkina took her responsibility as a children's book

author seriously. In her memoir she wrote: "The verbal patterns and

the patterns of behavior we present to children in these

lighthearted confections are likely to influence them for the rest

of their lives. These aesthetic impressions, just like the moral

teachings of early childhood, remain indelible."

Caps for Sale was first published in 1938. Since then it has sold

more than two million copies. Today it is considered a children's

book classic as generation after generation pass the story along to

new readers. In sales it ranks with such classics as Good Night

Moon, according to Publisher's Weekly.

Caps for Sale, won a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 and is

memorialized in a painting by Ms. Slobodkina on permanent

exhibition in the West Hartford Library, CT.

Ms. Slobodkina wrote and illustrated numerous other books,

including Mary and The Poodies (1937), The Wonderful Feast, (1955),

The Clock (1956), The Long Island Ducklings (1961), and Pezzo the

Peddler and the Circus Elephant, which was first published in 1967

and was reissued in 2002 as Circus Caps for Sale, to name a

few.

At the age of 88, Esphyr's primary focus became overseeing the

production of musical storybook cassettes of all twenty of her

children's books.

At age 90, Esphyr designed a mini museum in Glen Head, Long Island,

NY (through her Slobodkina Foundation) as a place where guests can

visit and view more than 200 works of art, her handmade dolls and

jewelry, as well as her complete collection of children's

storybooks, including some original illustrations.

Famed artist and author Esphyr Slobodkina was a leader of the

abstract movement in the United States from the 1930s until her

death at age 93 in July 2002.

　　A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business,

this absurd and very simple story has become a classic, selling

hundreds of thousands of copies since its first publication in

1940. A peddler walks around selling caps from a tall, tottering

pile on his head. Unable to sell a single cap one morning, he walks

out into the countryside, sits down under a tree, checks that all

the caps are in place, and falls asleep. When he wakes up, the caps

are gone--and the tree is full of cap-wearing monkeys. His attempts

to get the caps back generate the kind of repetitive rhythm that 3-

and 4-year-olds will adore.

　　--Richard Farr

　　"From an old folk tale [the author] has fashioned this bright

picture book, infusing it with a humor which seems to have sprung

from her own hearty enjoyment of the troubles of a peddler with a

abnd of monkeys."

　　--The New York Times
