Farewell Maurice Sendak

Maurice Sendak died today. He was a transformative author and illustrator of books for children. Where the Wild Things Are is his best known title, which won the Caldecott Medal in 1964. As a child, I spent many hours listening to Really Rosie - a musical based on his books with music by Carol King. You might enjoy reading them too!
