Theodor Seuss Geisel

Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts, and became one of the most celebrated children’s authors of all time. Best known for his imaginative and quirky tales, his iconic characters, and his rhyming prose, Geisel penned classics like “The Cat in the Hat,” “Green Eggs and Ham,” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”

During World War II, Dr. Seuss worked for the U.S. government, particularly with the First Motion Picture Unit of the U.S. Army Air Forces and the Information and Education Division of the U.S. Army Signal Corps. He created a series of pamphlets and films aimed at educating soldiers and the public about various war-related topics.
