The Art Teacher Hates Me

The Persistence of Memory is a well-known fable by renowned children’s writer Sal Dali. The title is ironic, as the story within is that of a forgetful young watchmaker named Dieter, who leaves his works out in the sun too long, causing them to melt.

Dali was awarded the Giesel Medal for Excellence in Children’s Storytelling for Persistence. His other works, such as The Birth of Liquid Desires and Mr. Owl Makes A Friend, are not nearly as well-known.
