Today, on Garrison Keillors The Writers Almanac, this note. My mother would have been 109 today. Its the birthday in Boston, 1909, of childrens author Norma Farber (books by this author), who wrote all kinds of books including nonsense ballads, instructional alphabets, counting stories, all of which were written in rhyme and meant to be read aloud. She is best known for As I Was Crossing the Boston Common, which won the 1976 National Book Award; a turtle narrates the book, and tells about the animals he meets one day as he crosses the Boston Common, creatures that parade by him in alphabetical order.
