Herman Parish

Children’s Author

The lovable, literal-minded Amelia Bedelia has been irresistible since she first arrived on our bookshelves fifty years ago. Amelia Bedelia really knows how to “dress” a chicken (in tiny clothes that fit just right). And when Amelia Bedelia is out driving, don’t ask her to look for “a fork in the road!” Herman Parish has been writing fresh Amelia Bedelia stories since 1995, inventing new adventures for the beloved character his aunt, Peggy Parish, created all those years ago.
