Description
Theodor Geisel led a life that goes much deeper than the prolific and beloved children's book author. He had a successful career as a political cartoonist, and his political leanings can be felt throughout his books. Geisel was a complicated man, who introduced generations to the wonders of reading while teaching young people about empathy and how to treat others well.
