Farewell Maurice Sendak!
I remember
Where Wild Things Are that children and parents enjoy reading.
When interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air in 2003, Sendak said "I've convinced myself — I hope I'm right — that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth." It has also been my observation that telling the truth provides the tools to heal.
It was one of my favorites. I have started reading it to my daughter too. This summer I plan to watch the movie with my daughter who will be three this month. I have not seen it yet because I wanted to watch it with her!
