    Whilst he cuts off his hair he still displays one flower on his lapel. That makes a lot of difference.

    Is that the same guy that did the children’s book about the Giving Tree? Looks like the same drawing style. Beautiful.

      Yep, same guy. Shel Silverstein also wrote the poetry books Where the Sidewalk Ends & A Light in the Attic, as well as the Johnny Cash song, “A Boy Named Sue.”
