Maurice Sendak

Today the world lost one of the greatest artists of our time, Maurice Sendak. He was my favorite children's writer and illustrator and it seriously brought me to tears when I heard he had died on NPR on my way to work this morning. To celebrate his life I have included some of my favorite images of his work as well as clips from his hilarious interview with Stephen Colbert. (All images by Maurice Sendak).

Ira Sleeps Over

I read this book to the kids at work today. It's a super sweet story, and the illustrations are really wonderful. Have you read it before? What was your favorite book when you were a child? If you're interested, you can buy the book here. I hope you're having a thrilling Thursday!
