Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on September 06, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Tony DiTerlizzi! May your day be filled with more magic than a goblin tea party and fewer spiders inviting flies to dinner. Your enchanting illustrations have brought timeless tales vividly to life—earning you the prestigious Caldecott Honor Medal for "The Spider and the Fly." Who knew an 1829 poem could still spin such delightful webs today?

From fantastical worlds in children's books to captivating adventures on screen, you've proven that imagination truly has no limits. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as your art has given readers everywhere—and may all your future projects fly higher than ever (just watch out for hungry arachnids)!
