Seems we have a similar love of this amazing man who was able to touch so many lives. 83 is is a long and full life full of dreams and fantastic inspiration. But he will still be missed.<br /><br />As I child, I loved the Wild Things, Really Rosie, Pierre, and all the rest. I read both of my sons In the Night Kitchen, to the point that I can recite it line by line. <br />I cried when I saw the movie adaption of Where the Wild Things Are. My sons said Maurice Sendak must have known me, where else would he come up with "Carol." <br />Thanks for you post and sharing your thoughts.glimmering prizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257408519835888555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29159709.post-88000628145964089962012-05-08T19:01:46.869-06:002012-05-08T19:01:46.869-06:00Michael, you are a very dear and thoughtful person...Michael, you are a very dear and thoughtful person.

I had the pleasure of seeing an exhibit of Maurice Sendak's art work at the Pierpont Morgan Library, decades ago. It showed some of his set designs for Mozart's operas (he was an avid Mozart fan), and a lot of his original artwork. It was wonderful to see the process of his creativity.Jennifer Mehlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08173449456652542654noreply@blogger.com
