Charles Mikolaycak (pronounced “Mike-o-lay-chak”) was born on January 26, 1937.<\/p>\n

“When I illustrate I am aware of many things; storytelling, graphic design, sequence of images and my own interests in which I can indulge. I never ‘draw-down’ to a projected audience. I feel children are most surprisingly capable of meeting a challenge and instinctively understand a drawing. Perhaps it will lead them to ask a question or wonder in silence\u2014either will help them to learn or to extend themselves.”<\/p>\n

His book I Am Joseph<\/i> was an ALA Notable Book, Peter and the Wolf <\/i>received a Society of Illustrators notation, and Babushka<\/i> was a New York Times<\/em> Best Illustrated Book.<\/p>\n

You can study his working drawings at the Children’s Literature Research Collection (the Kerlan Collection) at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mikolaycak was married to Carole Kismaric, with whom he collaborated on a number of books. Charles Mikolaycak passed away on June 25, 1993.<\/p>\n
