Larry RakowPresident, Wonder-Shirts

We’re not a t-shirt company. We’re not a sweatshirt company either or a purveyor of top-quality tote bags. We’ve been around since 1980 (first as Kidstamps and for the past nine years as Wonder-Shirts), but my enthusiasm for this company and our reason for being has nothing to do with selling appparel. Wonder-shirts exists to promote reading...particularly the reading of children’s books...and our products are purchased and proudly worn by those who agree with us: parents, kids, grandparents, teachers, librarians, and anyone else who takes joy in the written word (and remarkable illustration). To help us spread the word (so to speak), we’ve enlisted the help of some of the best illustra-tors in the world of children’s literature.

Look for new styles, designs, and il-lustrators throughout our 2011 Catalog. We’re delighted to welcome Mélanie Watt (Scaredy Squirrel) to Wonder-Shirts. In addition, there are brand new designs by fa-vorites Mo Willems (Elephant and Piggie) and Edward Gorey (I Saw Dracula). Take your time...there’s a lot inside to savor.

Will spends part of his time in his studio filled with marionettes and toys and part of his time in classrooms, talking with children about creating pictures. He has written and illustrated numerous books including the IRA Children’s Choice Award-winner The House That Drac Built (Gulliver), Wicked Jack (Holiday House), a SLJ Best Book of 1995, and the recent Louie!

Kevin Henkes published his first children’s book in 1981. Since then, he has created both novels and illustrated books for children, among them Olive’s Ocean (a 2004 Newbery Honor Book), Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse, Chrysanthemum, the 2005 Caldecott-winner Kitten’s First Full Moon, and Lilly’s Big Day (all Greenwillow). Mr. Henkes lives in Wisconsin with his wife and children. “I never thought I’d be lucky enough to be a real author and illustrator,” he says. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” Find out more about Kevin Henkes at www.kevinhenkes.com.

James Marshall’s first book, George and Martha (Houghton Mifflin) appeared in 1972. The rollicking tale of two hippos was fol-lowed by several sequels. Marshall was a self-taught artist and provided illustrations for many other writers including Harry Allard’s The Stupids Step Out and Miss Nelson is Missing (both Houghton Mifflin), which introduced Miss Viola Swamp, the world’s meanest substitute teacher. Mr. Marshall died in 1992.

If Garth Williams had done nothing else but illustrate Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little, and Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series (all HarperCollins), he would have established a spot in the very highest rank of esteemed children’s illustrators. That, of course was not the case. His contributions to the field began in 1944 and continued right up to his death in 1996. They included such classics as Margery Sharp’s The Rescuers (Little, Brown) and George Selden’s The Cricket in Times Square (Farrar Straus & Giroux).

It’s hard enough to write “funny.” It might be even more difficult to draw “funny,” but Betsy Lewin certainly does both. Recently, she’s been tickling the funny bones of both children and adults with her illustrations for Doreen Cronin’s tales of barnyard havoc: Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type (a 2002 Caldecott Honor Book, Simon & Schuster), Thump, Quack, Moo: A Whacky Adventure, and Duck for President (both Atheneum). Learn more about Betsy Lewin at www.betsylewin.com.

Mo Willems is an Emmy Award-winner and Caldecott Honor recipient. His work for children, including Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, Knuffle Bunny, a Cautionary Tale, and Knuffle Bunny Too: a Case of Mistaken Identity (all Caldecott Honor Books), have delighted kids and adults alike. His series of Elephant and Piggie early readers including Today I Will Fly! (all Hyperion) promises to continue that trend. Find out more about Mo Willems at www.mowillems.com.

Arnold Lobel was one of the most beloved children’s illustrators of the 20th century. A prolific artist and writer, Mr. Lobel was the author/illustrator of Frog and Toad Together (HarperCollins), a Newbery Honor Book and Fables (HarperCollins), a Caldecott Award winner. Mr. Lobel both illustrated many books written by others and authored many books illustrated by others. The world of chil-dren’s literature suffered a great loss with his death in 1987.

No one...and I mean no one...drew like Edward Gorey. For more than forty years, his distinctive blend of extraordinarily detailed art-work and unsettling humor graced scores of books for adults and children alike. His work for children includes The Shrinking of Tree-horn by Florence Parry Heide (Holiday House). Adult titles such as The Doubtful Guest and The Gashlycrumb Tinies (both Harcourt) are even more popular now than when first published in the 1950’s and 60’s. His animated opening for the Mystery series continues to delight PBS fans. Several collections of his work are available, including Amphigorey Again (Harcourt, 2007). His death in 2000 silenced one of the most original and unique minds of the 20th century. The Edward Gorey House, his former residence on Cape Cod, is open to the public and can be reached at www.edwardgoreyhouse.org.
