"My characters and locale (with one exception, Calico) I have chosen from what I have found about me. An engine on the Gloucester Branch of the Boston and Maine is the heroine of Choo Choo. 'Mary Ann', Mike Mulligan's steam shovel, I found digging the cellar of the new Gloucester High School. The Little House ©1942 [for which she received the Caldecott Medal in 1943] was inspired by the moving of our own house 'into the middle of a field with apple trees growing around,' and Katy and the Big Snow is the pride and joy of the Gloucester Highway Department."
