Rest in Peace Maurice Sendak, writer and honorary member of the American Sealyham Terrier Club. Most know him as author of "Where the Wild Things Are." But we know him for his children's book about his little Sealy named Jennie. Now they are crossing the rainbow bridge together.
What a wonderful find... looking at the original art from "Where the Wild Things Are" was a total treat.

Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak in His Own Words and Pictures, a multi media exhibit about the life-long art of Maurice Sendak on display at the Lancaster Museum of Art. It was cool!
Duane and I experienced the Lancaster Art Walk. We visited many different shops, ate at our favorite Lancaster bar (Lancaster Dispensing Company, we had Pesto and Brie and shared a veggie grinder and booze) and visited a scary artist studio. Good fun! The only thing is...it was like 84 degrees...IN APRIL. That is just wrong
Highlights from the Library's 'Sendak Sunday Reading Rumpus': Youth Services staff performs a (very) dramatic reading of Where the Wild Things Are, complete with gnashing teeth, rolling eyes, and claws.
White fur was then sewn on to the body (done by Jeni!) and arms and legs added just with the fur. The feet were simple circles of foam with the fur layered on top, which would later go over my shoes.

On Wednesday, January 19, 2011, The Chertoff Mural moved to its permanent home at the Rosenbach Museum & Library. A team of eight art handlers and conservators transported the mural from the truck to the museum’s Maurice Sendak Gallery where the mural was installed and conservation work was completed. Mural conservator Cassie Myers and Judith Guston, the Rosenbach’s Curator and Director of Collections, oversaw the process.

A Wild Thing ate my chocolate bar! (If you look close, you can see the chocolate smudge on his upper lip!)

"They believe they've won the fight,
they believe I'm gone - not quite!
Nothing ever works out neatly
Bullies don't give up completely.
One departs, the next appears
and we shall meet again my dears!
though I go, I won't go far...
I'll be back.
Love,
~from the children's book by Tony Kushner & Maurice Sendak
Maurice Sendak's classic kids book that teaches us that there's a time and place to be wild. If you've never read it, then your life is lacking, this book should be read by EVERYONE. We have most of the characters in plush form too, for cuddling with while reading! We also have other books by Maurice Sendak.
