"Morning, Noon & Night" is one of 33 children's books illustrated by Wendell Minor. He enjoys bringing scenes of the natural world to children. This curious raccoon, peering over the edge of a pillowcase, is a perfect example. Minor has signed his name at the top, W. Minor, but it's done in a way that it appears as part of the image, so as not to detract from the drawing's natural appearance.


Wendell Minor's illustrations have enhanced over 2000 books, among them Truman by David McCullough; Fried Green Tomatoes by Fannie Flagg; To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee; Terms of Endearment by Larry McMurtry and Alaska by James Michener. This is an opportunity to own a unique original by an extremely accomplished illustrator.
