Welcome to the home page of Wil Clay, illustrator of
children 's books and storyteller!
"This website will provide insight into my
wonderful world of children's books. It is a world of
bright colors, exotic
places and very, very strange creatures. It is a world of stories; some
whimsical, some spooky and some surprisingly real. It is a world of pictures
(illustrations) --
pictures created specifically to inspire and stimulate
imagination. Most importantly, it is a
world about reading to succeed. For all
children, reading should be made exciting and fun!
Since 1992 my school visits
have encouraged thousands of elementary students with very
positive results."
"Thanks for visiting! Feel free to explore and enjoy the site!" -Wil Clay
