The Caps for Sale book series is based on story ideas from Slobodkina’s and Sayer’s imagination. Just like the collage technique Slobodkina used for Caps for Sale, Sayer would use collage technique only this time on a computer. In 2013 Sayer realized that using a computer program, she could take all of Slobodkina’s drawings from her many children’s books and make new pictures. More Caps for Sale is the first posthumous book from Esphyr Slobodkina and is based on story ideas shared with Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer throughout their seven years as friends and business associates prior to Esphyr's death in 2002. Although she fiddled with storybook text plots, she did not take time to do additional drawings. But Slobodkina (in her 80s) was busy lecturing, painting and working with assemblage art. The two associates entertained possible scenarios. Now More Caps for Sale continues the story, picking up right where Caps for Sale left off.Īfter performances of Caps for Sale in libraries and school auditoriums, Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer and Esphyr Slobodkina (who accompanied Sayer from time to time) often discussed audience queries about what happened to the Peddler and the monkeys after his caps were retrieved. Since Esphyr Slobodkina’s Caps for Sale was first published in 1940, millions of children have savored the original tale of the Peddler, his caps, and a band of very funny monkeys.
