The American children's book author Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904. We celebrate the prolific Massachusetts-born author of such enduring children’s books as Horton Hears a Who!, The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! He published 44 picture books before he died in 1991. He often came up with story ideas by doodling. He kept a closet full of wacky hats. Whenever he was stumped writing, he’d put on a suitable hat to help the words flow.

The Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden in Springfield, Massachusetts, features sculptures of him and many of his characters.
