<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In difficult times a sense of humor--in particular about oneself--is essential to living happily. But this is not always so easy to achieve as it sounds. With his masterfully simple yet expressive line drawings in this nearly wordless graphic story, Don Freeman, author of <i>Corduroy</i>, shows us how it can be done--with help from a king who had to learn this himself. A simple yet timeless story illustrated with humor and insight, for young people of all ages! <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Don Freeman</b> was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. After graduating high school and attending a summer course at San Diego School of Fine Arts, Don moved to New York, where he studied at the Art Students' League and developed a passion for the theater. Don spent much of his time on Broadway and the streets of New York City, capturing everything that happened both on and off the stage in his sketchbook. He supported himself by playing his trumpet in a dance band, but after losing his trumpet on the subway, Don decided to turn his attention to his sketches. He published some of the earliest graphic novels and his own journal of lithographs, called "Newsstand." After the birth of his son Roy in 1949, he ventured into writing and illustrating children's books. He eventually published over 25 children's books before he died in 1978 including the beloved <i>Corduroy, </i> the touching story of a relationship between a teddy bear and a girl, Lisa. Other titles are <i>Fly High, Fly Low, Chuggy the Blue Caboose, Pet of the Met</i>, authored with his wife, Lydia. At his death he left many complete manuscripts that Roy published over the years including <i>Earl the Squirrel, Manuelo and his Cello</i>, and now, <i>The Sparrows of Stonehenge</i>.
