Maurice Sendak left us today.


Dear Maurice Sendak.
We used to sing along with Carole King's songs based on Sendak's books, like "Chicken Soup with Rice"

NPR has posted some interviews with Sendak here. What a fascinating man.
You know who my gods are, who I believe in fervently? Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson — she’s probably the top — Mozart, Shakespeare, Keats. These are wonderful gods who have gotten me through the narrow straits of life.”
