Hey it’s cool to read.

So this is a series of posters I did for Artists for Education, an initiative that focuses on getting fun/cool/educational posters in the hands of underfunded teachers! Teachers can download the posters for free and the rest of us can buy them too!

I’m working on a few more content-heavy designs but for my first contribution I wanted to focus on something I love: reading.

So hey, check out the site and KEEP checking back as more posters are added all the time.

Happy Monday!

Melissa Sweet, Some Writer!: The Story of E. B. White

A lovely collage-style biography of EB White. It’s aimed at grade school students, but it contains all sorts of primary materials, like manuscripts, letters, and photographs with EB White’s own captions, which made it unlike any “adult” biography I’ve read. Really well done.

“Some pig!” Charlotte the barn spider famously spun in praise of her friend Wilbur in E.B. White’s classic, Charlotte’s Web. Now, author Melissa Sweet has exclaimed: Some Writer! — that’s the name of her new, illustrated biography of E.B. White. The kid-friendly collage includes letters, journal entries, family photos, illustrations, manuscripts and more.

Sweet talks with NPR’s Kelly McEvers about White’s creative process — and her own.
