Trina Schart Hyman
I just found at that Trina Schart Hyman died about three weeks ago. I grew up with her illustrations--her Peter Pan and Cricket Magazine and her East of the Sun, West of the Moon. I'm so stunned.

Re: Trina Schart Hyman
Thank you for sharing, Veronica. I have loved her illustrations for many years, too.
Here's an obituary for anyone who is interested:
Trina Schart Hyman, 65, award-winning illustrator
So young, too. And with Paula Danziger's death in July, we've lost some important names in children's literature this year.

Trina Schart Hyman
This is just - shocking. I'm sitting here at work with a lump in my throat. I've loved every single drawing of hers that I've seen. Her work was one of the reaons "A Walk Out of the World" became one of my favorite books as a young teenager. What a huge loss.

Re: Trina Schart Hyman
Yeah I was really stunned also. I went upstairs to the archive of my kids' best loved books and almost all of them contained her art. What a terrible loss indeed.

Re: Trina Schart Hyman
I am still digesting the idea of a children's book world without Trina. She and I had been friends forever. We have some of her original art, among our treasured possessions. But to think there will be no more overnights in strange hotels, or her visiting here, or our stopping by her Lyme, NH farm That's unbearable.
Still, we have the pentimentos of her life, her glorious pictures, in our books. And she did the covers for three of my books, which remain close to my heart.

re: Trina Schart Hyman
She was my original, living, illustrative hero. She was the person I discovered after Adrienne Segur - initially through Cricket (which I sketchbooks of plagiarized TSH artwork from - starting from when I was 10 years old) and then beginning with "Little Red Riding Hood" I tried to acquire everything she'd ever illustrated... Her fairy tales remain my favorite. Her dynamic characterizations, rich color use, amazing graphic and decorative sense, and overall visual warmth and accessibility have continued to make her one of my all time favorites. I am terribly sad to have it at an end and not see where else she would have gone from here.

Oh, that's so sad.
So many beautiful books.
Such an inspiration.
