E.B. Lewis never considered illustrating children's books until an editor at Simon & Schuster who had seen Lewis's watercolors approached him with an offer he couldn't resist. Within a year, Lewis had complete work on illustrations for his first project, Fire on the Mountain, a re-telling of an Ethiopian folktale about a young shepherd boy who teaches a selfish rich man an important lesson. His subsequent projects include illustrations for a picture book of the class Langston Hughes poem "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" and work with author Nikki Grimes.

  • Great seeing someone from my childhood doing GREAT things! His works is AWESOME :)

  • hey e.blewis im the girl who ask you how much money do you make a year

  • I met Mr. Lewis in Charleston, SC at a library and was so impressed with the humbleness of his spirit. His work is impeccable and he captures the essence, heart, and spirit of his subjects. It is my hope to collaborate with this phenomenal artist one day. Life is precious and short and we must strike when paths cross in our lifetimes. Blessings...Ms. B.
