Thomas Rhodes Rockwell (March 13, 1933 – September 27, 2024) was an American author of children's books, best known for writing How to Eat Fried Worms. Rockwell was born in New Rochelle, New York, in 1933, the son of the American artist Norman Rockwell and his second wife Mary Rockwell, a school teacher and unpublished author. He grew up in Arlington, Vermont, a very rural small town. He attended a one-room schoolhouse; there were 23 students in his high school graduating class. His early mentors were Jim and Clara Edgerton, local farmers. He attended Bard College. In 1955, he married Gail Sudler, who was often the illustrator for his books; they had two children and were married until her death in 2010. Rockwell said that he always wanted to write. He was co-writer of his father's 1960 autobiography, My Adventures as an Illustrator. He got the idea of writing children's books when he started reading to his own son, Barnaby.
