When illustrators ask us about “working in multiple styles”, we bring up this artist.

He says “style” is a part of us that should always be “challenged and questioned”.

This artist is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

His mother taught him that, “the Life Force, or the Great Mystery, is named Wakan Tanka; that all of creation…has a spirit and is alive”.

We lost Arnold Lobel in 1987—after a battle with AIDS. He was 54.

We like to imagine him sitting and thinking on an island far from the shore, together with Frog and Toad.

When Curious George was published in 1941, the publisher omitted the author’s name from the cover.

Leaving her name off—they thought—would separate the title from a female-dominated field.

Don’t let anyone tell you that fan art isn’t a legitimate #kidlitart portfolio piece (often heard at art schools and #kidlit conferences).

GOOD fan art is GOOD art. Period.
