During her brief writing career, Monica Shannon (1905?-65) produced a variety of children's books and won the prestigious Newbery Medal. Shannon was born in Belleville, Ont., but moved to the United States before her first birthday. The appreciation of nature she developed while growing up on a ranch in the Bitter Root Valley of the Rocky Mountains was later reflected in her books. She attended schools in Washington, Idaho, and California, and worked as a librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library. Shannon published her first book, 'California Fairy Tales', in 1926, weaving together colorful stories and observations of California's natural history.Shannon wrote her best-known work, the 1935 Newbery Medal-winner 'Dobry', in 1934).
