Peggy Parish’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Peggy Parish was born in the Year of the Rabbit. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rabbit enjoy being surrounded by family and friends. They’re popular, compassionate, sincere, and they like to avoid conflict and are sometimes seen as pushovers. Rabbits enjoy home and entertaining at home. Compatible with Goat or Pig.
Famous for her Amelia Bedelia children's book series, she also penned the Liza, Bill & Jed mysteries, as well as several non-series works for children.
She received a bachelor's degree in English from the University of South Carolina. Some years later, she published her first children's work, Littlest Raccoon.
Parish's most famous character, Amelia Bedelia, appeals to children not only because of her penchant for cooking unique and delicious meals, but also because of her child-like, literal way of viewing the world.
Following Parish's sudden death in the late 1980s, her nephew, Herman Parish, continued her Amelia Bedelia series of books.
Her 1962 work My Little Golden Book of Manners was illustrated by Richard Scarry.
