Pictures Silverstein’s illustration of a boy catching an apple from his children’s picture book The Giving Tree.

hel Silverstein (September 25, 1930 – May 10, 1999) was one of America’s most well-known children’s authors. However, he did much more than that. He was also an accomplished illustrator, songwriter, and more.

Sheldon Allan Silverstein was born in Chicago, Illinois, and showed an interest in drawing and writing at a very young age. He honed his talents and became a published cartoonist during the 1950s in the military newspaper Pacific Stars and Stripes. Not long after that, he began writing songs. He is most famous for penning Johnny Cash’s hit song “A Boy Named Sue,” which earned Silverstein a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1969.
