In Memorium: Remembering Those Lost in 2020

Edith Kunhardt Davis





Sept. 30, 1937 – January 2, 2020













“The 3-year-old girl who inspired “Pat the Bunny” was Kunhardt’s daughter and grew up to be Edith Kunhardt Davis, author of dozens of children’s books, including a set of sequels to her mother’s classic work.” – The Washington Post
