Alice Rose Provensen (nee Twitchell; 1918-2018) and Martin Provensen (1916-1987) were an American couple who illustrated more than 40 children's books together, 19 of which they also wrote and edited. According to Alice, "we were a true collaboration. Martin and I really were one artist."

Both received scholarships to the Art Institute of Chicago, and both attended the University of California, though at separate campuses. After college, Alice went to work with Walter Lantz Studio, the creators of 'Woody Woodpecker', and Martin Provensen began his career as an animator at the Walt Disney Studio, where he worked on classics like 'Dumbo', 'Fantasia', and 'Pinocchio'.
