Maurice Sendak
Today we lost beloved children's book author and illustrator, Maurice Sendak. He was a man who accepted and embraced vulnerability. He understood the fright of the unknown and saw the complexities of flesh, both expert and bad. By penning one of the most influential children'due south books of the 20th Century, Where the Wild Things Are, Sendak encouraged children and adults to use their imaginations.
Here is an extract from an interview with Terry Gross:
TG: Can you share one of your favorite comments from reader'south that you lot've gotten over the years?
MS: Oh, there'southward and then many. Can I give y'all only one that I really similar? It was from a fiddling boy. He sent me a charming carte du jour with a little drawing. I loved it. I answer all my children'south letters – sometimes very hastily – but this 1 I lingered over. I sent him a postcard and I drew a motion picture of a Wild Matter on it. I wrote, "Honey Jim, I loved your bill of fare." Then I got a letter of the alphabet back from his female parent and she said, "Jim loved your card so much he ate it." That to me was one of the highest compliments I've e'er received. He didn't intendance that it was an original cartoon or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.
RIP, Mr. Sendak.
