Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on September 11, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Anthony Browne! May your day be filled with more magic than Willy the Wizard's adventures and fewer surprises than a Bear Hunt gone hilariously wrong. Your incredible imagination has given us gorillas in bow ties, wizards who charm our hearts, and bears that make bedtime stories unforgettable.

With over 40 beloved books under your belt (or should we say wizard’s cloak?), you've enchanted generations of readers young and old. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've brought to countless children around the world—just watch out for any mischievous gorillas crashing your party!
