My contribution is
the wonderful Shel Silverstein (1930–1999). Silverstein was an American poet,
singer-songwriter, cartoonist, screenwriter and author of children's books.
Shel Silverstein inspired me at a very young age and shall continue to do so
forever. My wife and I read Silverstein’s books to our daughter Lily every
night before she closes her eyes. Silverstein speaks to both the young and the
old, and most often simultaneously. He reminds us all of what’s at stake. He
helps us to guide our children toward a life of dreaming, loving and standing
up for what they believe in, all the while reminding us of these virtues we so
often forget.
