Thank you so very much for bringing lots of fun, laugther and joy with your dear beloved Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Bridwell was born in 1928 in Kokomo, Indiana, to Leona and Vern Bridwell. He graduated from Kokomo High School in 1945, and went on to attend John Herron School of Art in Indianapolis, and Cooper Union, in New York City.
By 1962 Bridwell was married to his wife Norma, and they had an infant daughter Emily Elizabeth, as well as a son named Timothy. At the time of his death, they had three grandchildren.

Bridwell put together a portfolio and attempted to get a job as a children's book illustrator but was rejected by around fifteen publishing houses. While at Harper & Row, an editor offhandedly suggested he turn one of his drawings into a story. The drawing was of a baby girl and a horse-sized bloodhound, and the story became Clifford The Big Red Dog. That book spawned over 40 best-selling Clifford books, two television series, merchandise, and a live musical.

Bridwell's other successful books include The Witch Next Door, and A Tiny Family. There are over 126 million copies of his books in print in 13 languages.

Norman and Norma Bridwell resided on Martha's Vineyard from 1969 until his death.

Bridwell died on December 12, 2014, at the age of 86, but his death was not announced until December 16, 2014.

LONG LIVE NORMAN BRIDWELL!!
GOD BLESS YOU!

I LOVE YOU!

REST IN PEACE, NORMAN BRIDWELL
