POETIC JUSTICE FOR SHEL!
Shel Silverstein, whimsical poet and cartoonist, grew up in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood.
But you wouldn't know it. There's no plaque, no statue, no mural.
Help us change that! Help us give this beloved kids' author the recognition he deserves: a mural in the heart of the neighborhood he called home.
Sign the petition below and show your support for the cause.
(Where will this mural be? TBD. But chances are, it’ll be somewhere near where the sidewalk ends…)

Shel Silverstein wrote so many wonderful books (and songs - who could forget A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash?). For more info, here's the official website here.
