maurice sendak

1929 - 2012

“Dear Mr. Sendak,” (read  a letter  from an 8-year-old boy). “How much does it cost to get to where the wild things are? If it is not expensive, my sister and I would like to spend the summer there.”

goodbye mr sendak,

you knew where the wild things were

and we read you over and over and over to our children
