Blessed is the man who has the gift of making friends; for it is one of God’s best gifts. It involves many things, but above all the power of going out of one’s own self and seeing and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another.

About Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein

Sheldon Alan

Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein

Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein (September 25, 1930 - May 10, 1999) was an American poet, songwriter, musician, composer, cartoonist, screenwriter and author of children's books. He sometimes styled himself as Uncle Shelby especially for his early children's books. To this day he remains one of the most beloved authors of children's books in the United States.

Silverstein confirmed he never studied the poetry of others, and therefore developed his own style: laid-back and conversational, occasionally employing profanity and slang.
