In addition to my great love of nature, I have always been fascinated with magical fantasy and time-traveling and like to take viewers there in my own art and writing. Along these same lines I probably would really have liked meeting Rube Goldberg, Raul Dahl and Remedios Varo. This has been too hard to narrow down to one. Thanks it was a Great question following an inspiring book by Natalie Ziarnik!michelle koganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409095111952431780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-21715608502248808152012-06-06T11:13:26.119-05:002012-06-06T11:13:26.119-05:00Thanks everyone for writing in--it's fascinati...Thanks everyone for writing in--it's fascinating to hear about the famous people who inspired others when they were children.

...Congratulations, Natalie, your book is gorgeous!<br /><br />As for the famous person -- when I was a child? Easy: Mary Martin! My mom played Broadway albums (those big old LPs), and I knew every one of her songs by heart before I started school. I always wanted to grow up to BE Mary Martin. ~ Paula<br /><br />pmorrow23 at gmail dot compollypoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16269481814724092376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-18247526180765037262012-05-30T10:40:18.317-05:002012-05-30T10:40:18.317-05:00I love when authors turn a biography into a good s...I love when authors turn a biography into a good story for younger students, too. This looks great. There is no question about the person I would love to meet. When I was young, I loved all the books about scientists, including Marie Curie. I was fascinated about the way they went about their research. Perhaps because I was young when the polio epidemic struck, it made me wish there was some wonderful person to find a cure, which there was, but later. What we heard then was so much about needing a cure.
