Legendary children’s author & illustrator Maurice Sendak has died.
As a hopeful kid’s book author myself and as a fan of the outlandish in what we read together as a family, a hearty thank you from me to you, Mr. Sendak. You pushed boundaries and shattered expectations with your work and the world is grateful.
His books were some of the first we read as parents and his words as sung by Carol King
It doesn’t even bother me in the least that most people younger than I will probably know Sendak more from his recent 2-part appearance on the Colbert Report than from his books. This is because that interview was freakin’ hilarious and showed what a crazy, playful rebel he was!
Rest in Peace, King of all Wild Things.
