Margaret Rey (1906–1996) was the co-creator of Curious George, the beloved children’s book character she developed with her husband, H. A. Rey. Originally conceived in Paris in the late 1930s, Curious George debuted in Curious George(1941), published after the couple fled Nazi-occupied France carrying their drawings with them. Margaret played a crucial role in shaping the stories, pacing, and visual clarity of the books, as well as advocating for George’s curious, mischievous, but ultimately kind-hearted personality. Although her contributions were long overshadowed by her husband’s name, Margaret Rey was instrumental in transforming Curious George into a timeless figure of children’s literature, balancing gentle humor with an understanding of childhood curiosity and learning.
