I am forwarding Rich Michelson’s email from today. Mordecai Gerstein was a 2006 Sydney Taylor Award winner for Sholem’s Treasure, and has written and illustrated many other distinguished books so many of us have in our libraries.

Michelson Galleries Dear Friends, It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our dear friend and Caldecott winning artist, Mordicai Gerstein. Mordicai will be remembered for his warm heart, joyful and kind nature and of course, his extraordinary illustrations. Our sympathy goes out to his wonderful wife of thirty-five years, Susan Yard Harris, and his children; Aram, and Risa Faye. R. Michelson Galleries will be honoring Mordicai's work with a special tribute at the 30th Annual Children's Illustration Celebration on November 10th. Please join us as we celebrate and remember our long time friend.

Mordicai was one of the first illustrators to join R. Michelson Galleries, and one of the kindest, gentlest men I have ever met.
