Shel Silverstein (born Sheldon Allan Silverstein in 1930) is best known for his quirky children’s poetry and stories, but he also wrote, composed and drew for grownups. His award-winning children’s books include “Where the Sidewalk Ends”, “A Light in the Attic” and “The Missing Piece.” His song credits include the lyrics to “A Boy Named Sue” (recorded by Johnny Cash) and the theme song for “Thelma & Louise.”
