Millions of Cats

Wanda Gág (1893–1946) was born in New Ulm, Minnesota, the daughter of an artist and the eldest of seven children. In recognition of her rare artistry, she was the posthumous recipient of the 1958 Lewis Carroll Shelf Award for Millions of Cats and the 1977 Kerlan Award for the body of her work.

LibraryCall is a small team of children’s librarians, storytellers, writers, audio editors, and translators. Founded in 2020 by Lori Ayre, this diverse team is driven by a deep appreciation for the power and importance of storytelling. LibraryCall creates modern renditions of classic children’s stories and fairy tales, adapts stories from various oral traditions, and even writes new stories. Their hope is that their varied and inclusive catalog will inspire the next generation to explore the world, appreciate the cultures around them, and perhaps even become storytellers themselves.
