Picture Post

BAD ATTITUDES is daily reading for me. Jerome Doolittle has three excellent posts up thus far today--he writes:

Marc Simont, one of the country’s foremost illustrators of children’s books...is a winner of the Caldecott Medal, the publishing industry’s highest prize for children’s books, along with numerous other honors.

As immigrants so often do, Marc has a clearer perception of what it means to be an American than many of us who were born here. And right now he fears that we are being led down a dangerous path that carries us farther and farther away from our highest and best ideals.

The sketch below makes that point. Bad Attitudes will be publishing more of Marc’s visual arguments as they come out of his studio. I hope that each picture will indeed be worth a thousand words, and that you will distribute them as widely as you can.
