As the mother of three small children, she began her career in 1966 by illustrating <i>The Forty-Ninth Magician</i>, written by her husband, Samuel Babbitt. She soon tried her own hand at writing, publishing two picture books in verse. Her first novel, <i>TheSearch for Delicious</i>, was published in 1969 and established her reputation for creating magical tales with profound meaning. <i>Kneeknock Rise</i> earned Babbitt a Newbery Honor in 1971, and she went on to write--and often illustrate--many more picture books, story collections, and novels. She also illustrated the five volumes in the Small Poems series by Valerie Worth.
