Who was Janina Domanska?
Janina Domańska was an award winning Polish artist, author and illustrator.
Domańska attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland. She moved to the United States in 1952, where she later married writer Jerzy Laskowski. Domańska is best known for her self-illustrated children's books. She won Caldecott Honors for her book If All the Seas Were One Sea in 1971.
Some critics have been less approving; Josh Gartland commented that ' If all the Seas Were One Sea is a horrible book that delights in man's destruction of his environment and therefore conveys a very negative message to the children at which it is aimed.'
"The Tortoise and the Tree," "Din Dan Don It's Christmas," "Spring is," and "The Best of the Bargain," are a few other books that Janina wrote.
