Deborah Kogan Ray: Hi, my name is Deborah Kogan Ray, and I wrote and illustrated the biography Wanda Gág: The Girl Who Lived to Draw. It is about the life of the famous author-illustrator who wrote Millions of Cats, and who lived from 1893 to 1946. Most people think her last name is Gag, because it is spelled G-A-G, but the correct way to pronounce it is Gog, as though it had an O and not an A for the middle letter. As Wanda told people who mispronounced her name, it should rhyme with jog, not bag please.
