People basically denigrate young adult fiction. I agree with you about his work deserving much more notice and study. There is at least one (fairly short) autobiography, called The Lost Garden... I think my copy is at work, sigh. Which I haven't been to since March 16th.

My students just turned in their book report! I don't know if I can share it to your LJ email (is there still such a thing? but I will try, along with the Google Slides show I mentioned... the kids chose to use two of my own drawings in their book report, which was cute).
