Like most preschoolers, Franklin is a dawdler, slow even for a turtle.

But just in time, Franklin remembers that he mustnt be late for Bears special day. AGES: 3-8 AUTHOR: In 1983, Toronto journalist Paulette Bourgeois decided to write a childrens book. All she needed was an idea. That idea came one night as she was watching an episode of the television series M*A*S*H. The character of Hawkeye Pierce refused to enter a cave because he was claustrophobic. "Im so scared that if I were a turtle, Id be afraid of my own shell," he said. Thus was born Franklin in the Dark, a tale of a little green turtle whos afraid of small dark places, including his own shell. The name of the turtle came, Bourgeois thought, out of the blue. "Now I realize that Hawkeyes full name is Franklin Benjamin Pierce!" Brenda Clark began drawing as a small child and realized by the age of 17 that she wanted to become a commercial artist. She studied Illustration at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, and graduated with an honors diploma in 1977. Shortly afterward, Brenda found that there was plenty of work for a freelancer in educational publishing and her first jobs were for elementary school books. This experience gave her plenty of published examples for her portfolio and a better understanding of how to interpret a story with pictures.
