Norman Rockwell was born in New
York City in 1894. As a boy, he wasn't very athletic but he
could draw. The other boys loved having him draw on the streets.
He left school early and went to art school. Hoping to be
able to make a career in art, he took any job he could get. But
that all changed when he sold his first drawing to the Saturday
Evening Post. The Post was perhaps the most popular
magazine of the time and getting the cover was an amazing
success. In fact, Norman went on to illustrate 320 covers
for the Post. Find out about this remarkable artist. I
just bet you have seen one of his famous drawings.
