He is a poet and a writer of short stories primarily for children.

Some of his books are Where the sidewalk ends, and the light in the attic.

His full name was Sheldon Allan Silverstein.his hit songs included "A Boy Named Sue" and "The Cover of the Rollin' Stone".Shel began writing as a young boy in Chicago.Silverstein's work goes beyond writing children's literature.
