Denise K. Fleming (January 31, 1950) is an American creator of children's picture books. She was born in Toledo, Ohio. She graduated in illustration (after a change from advertising design) from Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[1]
Her first book, In the Tall, Tall Grass, was published by Henry Holt and Company in 1991. According to one library summary, "Rhymed text (crunch, munch, caterpillars lunch) presents a toddler's view of creatures found in the grass from lunchtime till nightfall, such as bees, ants, and moles."[2] It was critically well received[3] and its sequel, In the Small, Small Pond (Holt, 1993), was a runner-up for the 1994 Caldecott Medal.[4]
Twenty years later, In the Small, Small Pond was runner-up for the inaugural, 2013 Phoenix Picture Book Award. The Phoenix Awards recognize the best children's books published twenty years earlier that did not win major contemporary awards.[5]
Her other books include The Cow Who Clucked, The First Day of Winter, Underground, and 5 Little Ducks.
