PALMER BROWN was born in Chicago and attended Swarthmore and the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author and illustrator of five books for children, including Beyond the Pawpaw Trees and its sequel, The Silver Nutmeg; Cheerful; and Hickory-all forthcoming from The New York Review Children's Collection.
"Here, the character of limited means is a small mouse, though his
trouble is what to give rather than what to get, since “someone”
(really his mother) seems to have everything….With exquisitely
adorable creatures fit to rival Peter Rabbit, the book provides a
predictable answer – love – that will make it no less enchanting to
young children. Out of print for 45 years, the book was long a
cherished favorite, memorably read aloud on television by Captain
Kangaroo."— Pamela Paul, The New York Times
“In Something for Christmas Palmer Brown tells and illustrates with
charming pictures in pastel colors an endearing tale about a small
mouse who wonders what to give his mother for Christmas and a
mother who knows what is the best gift of all—one’s love!” —Polly
Goodwin, Chicago Daily Tribune
