c 2012 Laura Goetz"Please sir, may I have some more?" Like many fans of Oliver Twist, I remember the famous request, "Please Sir I want some more?" Oliver an orphan is in a workhouse with desperately hungry boys, asks Mr. Bumble, the parish beadle for another portion of gruel. I chose to illustrate the poor and less fortunate children in this scene, because unfortunately, hunger is still a reality in today's society.
