Timeline

1908

Clement Gazzam Hurd (January 12, 1908 – February 5, 1988) was an American artist.

1933

Hurd returned to New York in 1933 to work as a commercial artist.

There Margaret Wise Brown was an editor at W. R. Scott, as well as a writer of picture book texts.

On seeing two of his paintings, she asked him if he would consider illustrating children's books.

1938

She wrote a text herself, for what became Bumble Bugs and Elephants (1938) —"perhaps the first modern board book for babies."

1942

Hurd's next collaboration with Brown, The Runaway Bunny, has been in print continuously since its 1942 publication.

1947

He is known for illustrations of children's picture books, especially collaborations with writer Margaret Wise Brown including Goodnight Moon (1947) and The Runaway Bunny (1942).

Hurd was born in New York City to Richard Melancthon Hurd, an economist and mortgage banker, and Lucy Gazzam Hurd.

He was educated at St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, then studied architecture at Yale University and painting with Fernand Léger in Paris.

Their next book, Goodnight Moon (1947), is considered classic children's literature in North America; by 1990, the total number of copies sold was more than 4 million.

1960

A doctored/altered photo of Hurd was included in the 60th anniversary republication of Goodnight Moon with a cigarette removed from his hand, an incident of tobacco bowdlerization that caused controversy over publication standards.

1988

Hurd died of Alzheimer's disease at a San Francisco hospital in 1988.

His son Thacher Hurd is also a children's book author and illustrator, and referred in an interview to the "wonderful aura of creativity" surrounding his father and the Vermont farm that was their home.

2004

Hurd's work, as well as that of his wife and son, were featured at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center in the 2004 exhibition "From Goodnight Moon to Art Dog: The World of Clement, Edith and Thatcher Hurd."

2007

In 2007, the National Education Association listed Goodnight Moon as one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children".

2012

In 2012 it was ranked number four among the "Top 100 Picture Books" in a survey published by School Library Journal.

Hurd also illustrated over fifty books written by his wife Edith Thacher Hurd (a friend of Brown's) as well as a children's book written by Gertrude Stein, The World Is Round.

Hurd wrote and illustrated the book Run, Run, Run.
