November 14 Birthday: William Steig


William Steig, writer and illustrator
Nov. 14, 1907-Oct. 3, 2003


When Everyone Wore a Hat  by William Steig (Joanna Colter Books, 2003)

In this picture book autobiography, Steig looked at the year he was eight, when the world was at war, and he had dreams for the future.

A cartoonist for the New Yorker, Steig was in his 60s when he began writing and illustrating children's books. Stop by Macmillan Publishers for a bio.
