Where the Wild Things AreA sad day today in the world of children’s books…the passing of a giant, Maurice Sendak,  author of Where the Wild Things Are and many more.

According to the NYTimes: “A posthumous picture book, “My Brother’s Book” — a poem written and illustrated by Mr. Sendak and inspired by his love for his late brother, Jack — is scheduled to be published next February.” Just one more to look forward to with hopeful anticipation.
