Happy Birthday, E.B. White!!

Born on July 11, 1899 in Mount Vernon, New York, E. B. White gave children so many wonderful stories. He captured friendship so beautifully when he gave us the story of Charlotte and Wilbur, and taught us that small can be mighty in Stuart Little. His lifelong love for animals shone through in his writing, and his understanding of the special relationship between children and their furry friends is his hallmark.
