producer, editor, and cofounder and president of the educational television production company, Sirius Thinking, Ltd. Since its first season in 1970,
Cerf has played a pivotal role in the creation and production of the "Sesame
Street" television program, most notably as a regular contributor of music
and lyrics. In the process, he has won two Grammy Awards and three Emmy Awards for songwriting and music production. Currently, Cerf serves as Co-Executive Producer of "Between the Lions," the multiple-Emmy-award-winning children's literacy series, created by his

until Blackie's death in 1966. She lives and works in New York City with her
two children.

Media reviews

"What a sweet, soulful tome of tree flesh. Cerf's Up! Turn the page!"
--Wavy Gravy, Winnarainbow Kids Camp Director, Woodstock Master of Ceremonies, Seva Board Member, Ben & Jerry's ex ice cream flavor, Hippy Icon Flower Geezer and Temple of Accumulated Error


"Blackie is a beautiful and touching story, told in rhyme by Chris Cerf and Paige Peterson. Unforgettable as the tale is, the art work by Ms.Peterson is even more so. Long after you've read the book, you will remember the stunning pictures, illustrating the events of Blackie's life. This book will be admired and enjoyed by adults and cherished by children. An instant classic!"
--Joan Ganz Cooney, co-founder of Sesame Workshop and originator of Sesame Street

"Kids will love it!!!"
-Lucie Arnaz


"BLACKIE is an equine delight...the story and the illustrations are witty, deceptively simple & simply beautiful."
-Laurence Luckinbill

I wish our daughter still nestled in my lap so I could read her the inspiring story of Blackie, a horse who appeared lazy but in fact understood why nature is to be savored and change is sometimes to be resisted. I think I'll read it to her anyway!
- Ken Auletta
