Ed Emberley was born in Malden on October 19, 1931, the oldest of three brothers. His father worked in Malden for most of his working life as a carpenter, painter, and paper hanger. Ed would grow up in Cambridge and attend what is now Massachusetts College of Art and Design and Rhode Island School of Design. He married his wife Barbara in 1955, had two children, Rebecca and Michael, and moved to Ipswich shortly after publishing his first children's book, The Wing On A Flea, in 1961.

Over his 60+ year career, Ed Emberley has illustrated (and often written as well) over a hundred books for children, and is remarkable for employing a wide variety of styles and techniques to illustrate them. He won the Caldecott Medal in 1967 for his woodcut book Drummer Hoff, and in 1970, began his wildly popular Drawing Book series with Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Animals. His 1992 book Go Away, Big Green Monster! brought him yet another generation of fans. Ed Emberley, a 2014 retrospective book, was compiled by Todd Oldham and Caleb Neelon, who has curated several museum shows of Emberley's work.
