Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: \"I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what's next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It's all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it's such a pleasure. I don't know when the time ends. I've never been happier in my life!\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon Freeman was the author and illustrator of many popular books for children, including \u003ci\u003eCorduroy\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e A Pocket for Corduroy\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Caldecott Honor Book \u003ci\u003eFly High, Fly Low.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45499529855137,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780593203408","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780593403624_3fa7f0cd-833a-47b8-b5db-1fb3aed549dd.jpg?v=1764870418","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/merry-christmas-corduroy-el-by-inspired-by-the-character-created-by-don-freeman-illustrated-by-jody-wheeler","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
