William Steig (1907–2003) was a prominent American cartoonist and author, known for his work in The New Yorker and his children's books. He began his artistic career during the Great Depression, publishing his first cartoon in 1930. Throughout his life, he contributed more than 1,600 drawings and 117 covers for the magazine. At the age of 61, he ventured into children's literature, where he also left a significant mark.

Among his most recognized works are Sylvester and the Magic Pebble (1969), which received the Caldecott Medal; Doctor De Soto (1982), awarded the National Book Award; and Shrek! (1990), which inspired the successful namesake film franchise. His style is characterized by a combination of humor, tenderness, and a deep understanding of child psychology. Steig continued creating until his last years, leaving a lasting legacy in literature and art.
