A biography for Ed Emberleyhasn’t been written yet.
“I don't know how old I was when I started writing books. But, I was born in 1931, and I wrote my first book in 1961.”
“I don't know where I got the idea for 'The Great Thumbprint Drawing Book'; I just told my brain to think of a book, and it did.”
“My favorite book is 'Go Away Big Green Monster.' I wrote it for my granddaughter Adrian, who was in the third grade at the time.”
“I am an old geezer: a grandpa kind of a guy. I was born October 19, 1931. I have gray hair, a beard, and a little pot belly. I have two children who are over 30 years old and a sweet little granddaughter who is 11 years old.”
“Everyone who likes my books is like me in some way.”
