Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: \"I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what's next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It's all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it's such a pleasure. I don't know when the time ends. I've never been happier in my life!\" Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy. Don Freeman was the author and illustrator of many popular books for children, including \u003ci\u003eCorduroy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Pocket for Corduroy\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Caldecott Honor book \u003ci\u003eFly High, Fly Low.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Viking Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50570487824658,"sku":"9780593466216","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_8fd806fe-1e7d-4d02-9577-e30095ea557b.jpg?v=1731959726","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/happy-valentines-day-corduroy-9780593466216","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
