Karen B. Winnick: Author & Humanitarian

Karen Winnick, noted author and illustrator of children’s books such as Mr. Lincoln’s Whiskers (a sweet anecdote on how President Lincoln came to grow his beard) and Sybil’s Night Ride (a historical story, focusing on Sybil Ludington, the heroine who informed the patriots of the arrival of the British), has been interested in story writing from her time as a young child. Her books concern themes such as animals, but she also likes to focus on the independence and self-strength of women in her books to send a message to young people. Her love of animals is evinced by her generous involvement as a benefactor of the children’s zoo in Los Angeles. Apart from her career as a children’s book author, Ms. Winnick is also a humanitarian, on the Board of Trustees of the Jewish Museum in New York and Brown University.#
