Beginning in the late 1970s, Joan Walsh Anglund created a quarterly "Children's Page" in Good Housekeeping magazine. The pages often included paper dolls. It was for that one page that I eagerly read through my mother's Good Housekeeping magazines. Later I would read the novel excerpts, often seeking out the full versions in book forms.
Her images all include children with the small pin dot eyes and minimal features. I am pretty sure I have a book of hers somewhere...
I remember this too. I have several little books by her, sort of sentimental things with thoughts about love and friendship. Her pictures were charming.
