Maurice Sendak changed visual possibilities and perspective for children's books where dark illustrations and ideas were not off limits, regardless of the reader's age. He's best known for Where the Wild Things Are. And the world lost him today, at age 83, but he left so much of himself behind for generations to come to relish.
I found this quote by Sendak and think it speaks volumes.
“Live your Life.
Live your Life.
Live your Life.”
Live your Life.
Live your Life.”
What a great sendoff for such an influential author. It's always sad to hear that someone has passed, but his stories will definitely live on for years to come. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteGreat tribute to a wonderful writer! And welcome back to blog land. I've missed you. (although I'm still a bit guilty for being absent myself). xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hadn't heard. :o( But 83 - what a full life he must have had! I've enjoyed Where The Wild Things Are since I was young! Sometimes I'd rather read children's books than adult ones. :o)
