I already posted this video last year, but upon hearing the news that Maurice Sendak passed away I figured I’d revisit it. I loved his work as a child, and admire it as an adult. And professionally / creatively, he was an inspiration. 

“He’s one of the most important, if not the most important, writers and artists ever to work in children’s literature. In fact, he’s a significant writer and artist in literature. Period.” - Tony Kushner
