Schrier has also been an illustrator of children's books such as Let's Jump!, written by Donna Lugg Pape and published by Houghton Mifflin, "Amazing Science Tricks" (published in Boys' Life), and was the animator for the Cleveland Indians stadium scoreboard, winning him a "thanks" credit in the 1994 motion picture Major League II.
