Tillie S. Pine

Tillie Schloss Pine (4 March 1896 – 1999) was an American writer of children's books in the 20th century.

Pine was born in Pułtusk, in Poland, on 4 March 1896.

After the family moved to New York City, she married Nat Pine in 1924.

[1][2] Pine is recognized for her children’s science and multi-cultural books, primarily illustrated by Ezra Jack Keats, that saw printed editions spanning several decades and set in multiple languages.

Most of her books follow a similar theme; describing traditional cultural processes and techniques and how they are in practice in contemporary sciences.
