Richard Hefter

Richard Hefter (March 20, 1941 – May 6, 2011)[1][2] was an American author of books for young children.[3]

Biography

Richard Hefter met children's author Jacquelyn Reinach in 1975. He was contracted at the time to write 26 books for the publishers Holt. After the contract expired he formed a publishing venture, Euphrosyne, with Reinach.[1]

He is known as the creator of Stickybear and as the co-creator (with Reinach) and illustrator for the Sweet Pickles[1] library of books, and for the Strawberry Library of First Learning. The Sweet Pickles series went on to sell 40 million copies.[1] Hefter described his aim as "trying to help children understand things like shyness, laziness and embarrassment in a humorous way."[1]

In 1982, Hefter formed a computer software company, Optimum Resource.[1] He died in 2011 in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.[citation needed]
