He dreamed of becoming a cartoonist from the age of six, and, at age twelve, apprenticed himself to his favourite cartoonist, Noro Shinpei. For the next four years, Say learned to draw and paint under the direction of Noro, who has remained Say's mentor. Say illustrated his first children's book -- published in 1972 -- in a photo studio between shooting assignments. For years, Say continued writing and illustrating children's books on a part-time basis. But in 1987, while illustrating 'The Boy of the Three-Year Nap' (Caldecott Honor Medal), he recaptured the joy he had known as a boy working in his master's studio. It was then that Say decided to make a full commitment to doing what he loves best: writing and illustrating children's books. Since then, he has written and illustrated many books, including 'Tree of Cranes' and 'Grandfather's Journey', winner of the 1994 Caldecott Medal. He is a full-time writer and illustrator. Colour illustrations When he was a young man, the author's grandfather left his home in Japan to explore the world. He began his journey by crossing the Pacific Ocean on a steamship, then wandered the deserts, farmlands, and cities of North America. In this title, he tells the story of his own family's cross-cultural history in elegant watercolour paintings.
