{"value"=>"<p>Series II holds materials related to Charlip's children's books. Dating from 1955 to 2012, it is alphabetically arranged into: Book Files, Royalties, and Administrative Files.</p> <p>The book files contain materials for the vast majority of Charlip's books, including those for which he was only an illustrator. Book files largely concern the production of Charlip's books. There are contracts and agreements for most books, correspondence between Charlip and his publishers or co-authors, sketches and original art, layouts, storyboards, dummy copies, proof pages, manuscripts and original text, and notes.</p> <p>Highlights of the book files include: Charlip's first sketches and a penciled draft for <span class=\"title\">Arm in Arm</span>; sketches and drafts for <span class=\"title\">David's Little Indian</span>, Charlip's first illustrated book; French, Spanish, and Italian translations of <span class=\"title\">Fortunately</span> from 2011; storyboards and original artwork for <span class=\"title\">I Love You</span>; layouts for <span class=\"title\">Little Old Big Beard and Big Old Little Beard</span>; sketches, outlines, and reference art for <span class=\"title\">A Moon or a Button</span>; sketches and a dummy copy of <span class=\"title\">Mother Mother I Feel Sick Send for Doctor Quick Quick Quick</span>; layouts and storyboards for <span class=\"title\">Peanut Butter Party</span>; original artwork for <span class=\"title\">Sleepytime Rhyme</span>; designs for <span class=\"title\">This is the Age of the Bookmobile</span>, an activity book published by The Children's Book Council; layouts and redone artwork for <span class=\"title\">Where is Everybody?</span>; and a storyboard for <span class=\"title\">Which Witch is Which?</span></p> <p>Also present are dust jackets Charlip designed, chiefly for other authors' books from the 1950s and 1960s. There are proposals, sketches, and outlines for several unpublished books: a book version <span class=\"title\">Amaterasu</span>, <span class=\"title\">Any Body Can Dance</span>, <span class=\"title\">Animated Movies</span>, <span class=\"title\">Bookworm</span>, <span class=\"title\">Dancing Alphabet</span>, <span class=\"title\">Hearts Entwined</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Moon and Stars</span>. Additionally, there are short stories and illustrations sent to Charlip by high school classrooms inspired by <span class=\"title\">Fortunately</span> and <span class=\"title\">Peanut Butter Party</span>, filed with materials for those books.</p> <p>Charlip's book royalties span from 1980 to 2012 and consist of invoices from all major publishers with which he was contracted. In particular, there are many royalties from Harper Collins Publishers, Macmillan Publishing, and Simon and Schuster.</p> <p>Administrative files contain notes, schedules, and correspondence regarding agents, publishers, book sales, and events Charlip attended in his capacity as a children's book author. While some contracts and agreements are held here, the majority are held with the book files; administrative files generally do not correspond to specific books. Series VIII holds some similar correspondence and notes related to publishing administrative matters.</p>"}
