Etienne Delessert (1941-2024) was a Swiss artist best known for his collaborations with child psychologist Jean Piaget.
In 1973, Delessert created a series of ten animated inserts for Sesame Street Season 5, teaching affective skills, amongst other goals.[1] That same year, he illustrated the book Being Green, adapting the song with a more abstract lizard-like creature as a protagonist. Delessert would also adapt the book into an animated segment to a recording of Frank Sinatra's cover of the song for Sesame Street, but it was never used on the show.
