Gerber Baby Models

Ann Turner Cook (born 1926) is a United States author of mystery fiction, and a former high-school English-literature and writing teacher. Cook also is known as the model for the Gerber Baby logo on baby-food packages of the Gerber Products Company.

The daughter of cartoonist Leslie Turner, a five-month-old Ann was used as the model for a charcoal drawing by neighbor Dorothy Hope Smith. In 1928, when Gerber announced it was looking for baby images for its upcoming line of baby food, Smith's drawing was submitted and subsequently chosen. The drawing of Ann Turner Cook has been used on all Gerber baby food packaging since.

In her adulthood, Cook attended the University of South Florida and other post-secondary schools, where, studying education and English journalism, she earned several degrees, including a master's degree in English Education. She taught at one of Florida's several elementary schools named Oak Hill , and then at Madison Junior High School, in Tampa, Florida. In 1966, she joined the English Department of Hillsborough High School, also in Tampa. There, students elected to dedicate the 1972 Hilsborean , the school yearbook, to Cook, who sponsored the tome of more than 300 pages and was described as "a teacher who really communicates with the students" and who, "without any complaints", "has stayed late, worked nights, and with quiet efficiency supported her staff in their monumental task".

After retiring from teaching, Cook became a mystery author. Her books include Trace Their Shadows , Shadow over Cedar Key , and Homosassa Shadows .

She is a sister in the sorority Pi Beta Phi.
