Synopsis

The CABIN by the RIVERSIDE began as a poem written by Joseph Schmidt when he was eight years old. Along with the words of the poem, Joseph created a vivid inner landscape which brought the poem to life in his mind. The poem and these images remained close to him throughout his life and became a bed-time prayer for his sons, Justin and Jeremy, when they were young boys. At age sixty, Joseph decided to capture these images for a childrens’ book and sketched each scene as he saw it in his mind’s eye. He then worked with June Atkin, a professional illustrator, who followed these sketches to render the finished scenes that you find in this book.
