Issued 8 April 2022 in Chicago to honour Shel Silverstein (1930-1999), poet, cartoonist and author. The stamp reproduces his own drawing from The Giving Tree — the boy stretched out for a fallen apple — printed in his unmistakable scratchy line on a flat green ground.
One complete pane of 20 self-adhesive Forever stamps.
