In Memorium: Maurice Sendak

Maurice Sendak

(June 10, 1928 - May 8, 2012)

Maurice Sendak, who died this morning at the age of 83, had a tremendous impact on children's literature.  Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen are two of the greatest picture books ever.

I'll be writing more about Mr. Sendak for tomorrow's Decatur Metro blog.

This is now posted.  You can read it here.
