Thinking of Maurice Sendak,
and all the literary gifts
that he provided for my daughter over the years.
How she loved 'In the Night Kitchen'.
I think back to the number of times that we read that book;
how my daughter never tired of the very crazy, imaginative story.
A tale of being baked inside a cake, sliding down milk bottles,
all under the watchful gaze of the full moon.
The story, so rich in symbolism. Full of meaning beyond a child's imagination.
How rare a book that can intrigue both child & parent.
Thank you Maurice, for this and many others.
