The artist, Laura Gilbert, writes:

Caleb's father contacted me about adopting this work for his son -- a 10-year-old who will be entering fifth grade in the fall of 2009.

For me, this was an irresistible adoption: a father giving his son art, and a young man collecting art before he hits his teens.

I met Caleb's father, and I hope one day to meet Caleb himself. Right now, he's away at summer camp.
