Died in the 21st century?

Free guess: Suzanne Collins, author of YA series The Hunger games and the children's fantasy series The Underland Chronicles. I'm not sure but I'm pretty certain The Hunger Games is quite a notable work.

scratch this guess.

Scratched, but for the record, if I had chosen Collins, I definitely would have answered "yes" to the notable written work question. If someone is notable enough to be a 20 Questions answer, and their primary source of fame is being an author, than their written work counts as notable by definition. Where it gets tricky is if there's a famous tennis player who writes an autobiography, or something like that.

[Hominidae]

... Primarily known for writing childrens literature or young adult literature?

Spartaculous already asked this, and the answer was yes. At least, I don't see a difference. The point is moot though, because...

Picture book author?

Yes.

If yes, free guess: Margaret Wise Brown?

And yes! Congrats on your first win!

You're correct. I didn't see that question, and I felt that you may have been pointing out that we were missing something, as we often do.

Congrats Dream! I'm looking forward to seeing a fresh take on this.
