Hildegard Woodward (February 10, 1898 – December 1977) was the author and illustrator of many children's books, two of which were awarded a Caldecott Honor.[1] Woodward's art was not restricted to children's books; her portfolio includes numerous works of fiction and humor for adults.[2] Although most noted for her watercolor illustrations, she painted in oil and [3] was a children's portrait artist.[4]
In 1948 she was given a Caldecott Medal for her illustrations of Roger and the Fox written by Lavinia R. Davis and again in 1950 for The Wild Birthday Cake.
In 1953 Woodward painted a mural on the wall of the Center School cafeteria in Brookfield, Connecticut near her residence in Hawleyville.
She began to lose her sight in the 1960, but didn't stop painting. When she went blind she developed a method of "painting by touch".[7]
Woodward never married or had children. She died in December 1977 in Connecticut.
Twenty-seventh annual exhibition of painting: October the fifth through October the twenty-sixth, 1930
