"Born in Chicago on September 25, 1930, Sheldon Allan
Silverstein grew up to attain an enormous public following, but he
always preferred to say little about himself. When I was a kid, he
told Publishers Weekly in 1975, I would much rather have been a
good baseball player or a hit with the girls. But I couldn''t play
ball. I couldn''t dance. So I started to draw and to write. He began
contributing cartoons to Stars and Stripes, the U.S. military
publication, when he was serving in the armed forces in Korea
during the 1950s.
