About this person

Robert Lawson was an American writer and artist, best known for his work as an author and illustrator of children's literature. Lawson won the Caldecott Medal in 1941 for his illustrations in They Were Strong and Good and the Newbery Medal in 1945 for his work on Rabbit Hill; he is one of the few people to have won both medals. In addition to his work in children's books, Lawson also created etchings, which earned him the John Taylor Arms Prize from the Society of American Etchers in 1931.
