Danziger, Paula

Danziger, Paula
▪ 2005

      American children's author (b. Aug. 18, 1944, Washington, D.C.—d. July 8, 2004, New York, N.Y.), wrote more than 30 books, notably the popular Amber Brown series, that presented serious issues with humour and honesty. Danziger was also well known for her warm and flamboyant personal style. Her first book, The Cat Ate My Gymsuit (1974), was an immediate success that became a classic of young readers' literature. The Amber Brown series (actually two series, one aimed at middle-school readers and one for younger children) began with Amber Brown Is Not a Crayon (1993). Her books, all of which remained in print, won numerous awards.
