Norman was born
in New York on February 3, 1894. He had one brother named Jarvis.
Norman really liked to paint when he was younger. Norman liked to
listen to stories that his dad told him and draw them in his head.
He was kind of a clumbsy kid, but he realized that he was talented
in drawing. At the age of 14, he went to the Art Student League school
and stayed there until he was 18. As a student, Norman was given
small illustration jobs, but his major breakthrough came in 1912 with his
first book illustration for C.H. Claudy's Tell Me Why: Stories about
Mother Nature. By 1913 he was art editor for "Boy's Life" and just
19 years old.
