John Burningham
John Burningham (27 April 1936 – 4 January 2019) was an English author and illustrator of picture books for young children. He lived in north London with his wife Helen Oxenbury, another illustrator. His last published work was a husband-and-wife collaboration, ''There's Going to Be a New Baby'' (Walker Books, September 2011), written by John and illustrated by Helen for "ages 2+".Burningham won the 1963 and 1970 Kate Greenaway Medals for British children's book illustration. The first was for his debut as illustrator (and author), ''Borka: The Adventures of a Goose with No Feathers'', named one of the top ten winning works for the 50th anniversary of the Medal (1955–2005). His second Greenaway Medal winner, ''Mr Gumpy's Outing'' (1970), is his work most widely held in WorldCat participating libraries, and it also won the annual Boston Globe–Horn Book Award (US) in the picture books category.
For his lasting contribution as a children's illustrator, Burningham was one of five or six finalists in 2012 and in 2014 for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest recognition available to creators of children's books. He was the UK's national nominee in 1980 and 1986. Provided by Wikipedia
