And one I read to my children over and over ("no fighting no biting" became a catchphrase):

Love #MauriceSendak quote on @nprfreshair talking about when he was a kid, "I thought Italians were happy Jews."
RIP Maurice. Let the wild rumpus start!
ReplyDeleteI was talking with a children's editor friend about him yesterday. We tend to think of children's writers as happy-go-lucky innocents, but he was different. Cranky, a little aggressive, and fascinating, one might not have pegged him as a children's author.
ReplyDeleteAnd we loved his work.
