Ooof, right in the childhood.

The man's work is timeless, and I know that when I have kids I'll be digging out his old books to read them to the little bastards.

Now Sendak and Shel Silverstein can reunite in the afterlife and collaborate on something serious.

His Stephen Colbert interview was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. We'll miss you Maurice, rest well.

Until that interview I would've been, "Oh. Maurice Sendak. He wrote that cool book". But afterwards, my opinion and respect for that man has increased thousand-fold. He really did something beautiful with his time here. And just now, on All Things Considered, I heard a great conversation about Sendak from his close friend, and again, made me all sad and introspective and reverent of Sendak's legacy.

I have never actually read "Where the Wild Things Are," but I recognize it's effect as an icon for so many people.

Maybe it's time to pick up a copy...
