- May Massee (1883-1963). Librarian and creative children’s editor who grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She unselfconsciously pioneered stories about Blacks; dared to publish Marie Hall Ets’s Story of a Baby (1939); and experimented boldly with stories of the foreign-born. She was concerned that her books would “make young Americans think and feel more vividly, make them more aware of the world around them and more at home in the world within, more able to give something to their generation and thoroughly enjoy the giving.”
