until next time, maurice

the world lost an amazing, influential, brilliant man today. 

the educator, lover of children's literature, and future parent in me is saddened by his leaving but I know that his legacy will live on forever.

if you haven't already, go listen to the npr tribute filled with interviews and bits of his life.

i imagine any time spent with him would be a dream come true.

i may, or may not, cry reading his books to my own wild things tomorrow.

until next time, mr. sendak
"i wish you, all good things"
