Peggy Parish began publishing Amelia Bedelia stories in 1963. Peggy Parish knew what children like to read. Always involved with education in some way, Peggy Parish did television pieces on pre-school education and children's books, wrote children's-book reviews columns, and led numerous in-service training workshops for teachers. After living many years in New York City, she died in November, 1988 in her native South Carolina. Peggy Parish's nephew, Herman Parish, has been continuing the Amelia Bedelia stories since 1995.

Herman Parish debat Amelia Bedelia Makes a Friend..; Herman Parish debat Amelia Bedelia's First Field Trip.

***** TIME TBD ***** Herman Parish was in the fourth grade when his aunt, Peggy Parish, wrote the first book about Amelia Bedelia. The lovable, literal-minded housekeeper has been a member of his family ever since. Peggy Parish died in 1988. She would be proud and delighted to know that her nephew is carrying on — for a new generation of readers — the tradition she began years ago. Herman has added fourteen books to the series, as well as several new picture books about the young Amelia Bedelia, including AMELIA BEDELIA, BOOKWORM; AMELIA BEDELIA AND THE CAT; AMELIA BEDELIA TALKS TURKEY; AMELIA BEDELIA BAKES OFF and many others. His latest book is about friendship - Amelia Bedelia missing her old friend and how she makes a new one. (jasbro)… (més)
