Who Was Maurice Sendak?                     Who Was Series

It seems entirely fitting that Maurice Sendak was born on the same day that Mickey Mouse first made his cartoon debut - June 10, 1928. Sendak was crazy about cartoons and comic books, and at 12, after seeing Disney's Fantasia, he decided that he was going to become an illustrator. His love of children's books began early: Often sick and confined to bed, little Maurice read and read and read.

Though many of his own stories were light and funny, the most important ones - Where the Wild Things AreIn the Night KitchenOutside Over There - dealt with anger, jealousy, abandonment: content that had never before been the subject of picture books. As well as covering career highlights, this easy-to-understand biography describes the personal life of this genius.

Who Was Maurice Sendak? is perfect for kids wild about one of the most influential children's book artists of the 20th century!---from the publisher
