Jo Ann Wheeler Burbank (1905-2000)
Jo Ann Wheeler Burbank was the original artist who created drawings for the story of Friedrich Froebel's kindergarten.
An artist in the Froebel Gallery, of which the author is president, Jo Ann had been a teacher in the Modern School in Stelton, New Jersey (organized 1911). That institution was based on the philosophy of Spanish educator Francisco Ferrer and Froebel. Jo Ann's correspondence and memoir are at Rutgers University, Womens' History Sources. Her paintings are in many collections including the author's.
These pages from the book demonstrate her style.
