Born in Kokomo, Indiana on February 15, 1928, illustrator/cartoonist Norman Bridwell has written over 120 books on children's favorite "Clifford the Big Red Dog". He continues to write an average of 2 books a year. After being told his illustrations of Clifford were too ordinary, a critic suggested he write a story to go along with them to help to sell the illustrations. He wrote a story and submitted it to a publishing company. Three weeks later, the publisher called and said they wanted to publish his work. Over 40 years later, Clifford "the Big Red Dog" continues to "grow" with more books, television shows and movies! Over 44 million copies of his books are published in many different languages for children all over the world.
