Alice Low

[5] In verse, Low reassures the boy that if he leaves the closet door open at bedtime, the witches will come out for one night of play and then, exhausted, fly away for good.

Early in Low’s career she wrote two Little Golden Books: Open Up My Suitcase (1954) and Out Of My Window (1955).

Low wrote Summer in verse using only the words on the limited Beginner Book list.

[6] The book celebrates the joys of summer for children, has been published in at least six physical editions, and is currently available in e-book format.

Her mother co-authored four children’s books, and people from the arts world were often guests in her parents’ apartment.

Low wrote lyrics for songs performed at her college reunions and many witty poems.
