What sad news, Lisa! A great loss to the children's literature community.

[ha-Safran] FW: Mordicai Gerstein: In Memoriam

[Lisa Silverman via Hasafran]

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.

Mordicai Gerstein at R. 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 Gerstein and Rich Michelson in 2009

On a personal note, I will miss our monthly lunches discussing poetry, fiction, 
and children's book industry gossip; along with stories about our shared 
passion: the many bicycle trip adventures we each enjoyed. Mordicai was one of 
the first illustrators to join R. Michelson Galleries, and one of the kindest, 
gentlest men I have ever met. May his memory be a blessing.
