ERIKA STEISKAL: HAPPINESS ON A PIECE OF PAPER

September 5, 2012

Erika Steiskal illustrated “Happiness on a Piece of Paper,” a short story about a ten-year old boy living in 19th century rural Pennsylvania, for children’s literary magazine Spider.  Garrison loves to draw but worries that his family will insist he stop “fooling around with pen and paper.”

“Keeping with the central theme of the story, I wanted to maintain a subtle tension between Garrison and his family,” explains Erika.
