Wilbur Monroe Leaf (aka Munro Leaf) (December 4, 1905 – December 21, 1976), was an American author of children's literature who wrote and illustrated nearly 40 books during his 40-year career. He is best known for The Story of Ferdinand (1936), a children's classic which he wrote on a yellow legal-length pad in less than an hour. Labeled as subversive, it stirred an international controversy.
Born in Hamilton, Maryland, Leaf graduated from the University of Maryland in 1927 and from Harvard University with a Master's degree in English literature in 1931. He taught secondary school and then worked as an editor with the publisher Frederick A. Stokes Company. Leaf once commented, "Early on in my writing career I realized that if one found some truths worth telling they should be told to the young in terms that were understandable to them."
He wrote The Story of Ferdinand for his friend, illustrator Robert Lawson. The story, which follows a gentle bull in rural Spain who prefers smelling flowers to bullfighting, sparked considerable controversy because Ferdinand was regarded by some as a pacifist symbol. Banned in Spain and burned as propaganda in Nazi Germany, the book had over 60 foreign translations and has never gone out of print. The story was adapted into a Walt Disney film which won a 1938 Academy Award.

March 1 - The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf
Ferdinand is the world's most peaceful--and--beloved little bull. While all of the other bulls snort, leap, and butt their heads, Ferdinand is content to just sit and smell the flowers under his favorite cork tree. Leaf's simple storytelling paired with Lawson's pen-and-ink drawings make The Story of Ferdinand a true classic.
"This is the story of Ferdinand- a little bull who would rather just sit and smell the flowers than fight." Originally published in 1936 by Munro Leaf and illustrated by Robert Lawson. I have fond memories of reading this book when I was a child. It is interesting to see it from an adult perspective now. It is very affirming of introverts and anyone who feels they don't quite fit with expectations of what is "normal." A sweet little story. Enjoy!

Here's the book that millions of young people base their morals and citizenship on. Outdated? You decide. Notice the part about how a bill becomes law! Don't ignore the stuff about 'just-me' selfish people, either. Most of those who show up at "tea parties" began here. Or their mom and dad did.

The series was directed by Chuck Jones and other prominent Hollywood animators, and the voice of Private Snafu was performed by Mel Blanc. authors Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss), Philip D.
