When she was fourteen, Dorothy Keeley Aldis’s family moved to a farm near Wheaton, Illinois. At sixteen she was sent to school, and the following year to college. Leaving college before the completion of her junior year, she started working at odd jobs around Chicago and at one time was the Art, Household, Lovelorn and Beauty editors on a Chicago paper. For more than forty years, Dorothy Aldis remained at the forefront of children’s literature, beginning in 1927 with her first book of poetry aimed at young children. During her busy writing career she produced twenty-nine books, including children’s poetry, biography, and adolescent literature.
