They were runners-up for the Caldecott Medal in 1982 for their illustrations of Nancy Willard’s A Visit to William Blake’s Inn and won the Caldecott in 1984 for a book they wrote and illustrated, The Glorious Flight . Eight of their books have been named as New York Times Ten Best Illustrated Books of the Year. They lived for many years in Dutchess County, New York.
