A random cut-out from Where the Wild Things Are, also by Maurice Sendak, on the roof of the house. The little flag sign was a nice touch too, but I suspect the wild thing is more likely to grace the house year round.

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! This was taken in the "Where the Wild Things" Fun mirror.

 

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.

Baby deer for a baby girl.

In June 2023, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed HB2789, which protects libraries from external restrictions to book collections. As a tribute, Harold Washington Library Center, Chicago's central library, set up a rack of unbanned books.

 

I'm amazed at the titles certain people wanted banned. "Where the Wild Things Are"? "Lord of the Flies"? Children and teenagers have been reading those for years, with no ill effect.

 

BTW, a real-life "Lord of the Flies", where six shipwrecked teenagers were marooned on a deserted island for almost a year and a half before being rescued, had a happy ending.

Dr. Seuss!?? "The Lorax" spoke for the trees! And after what happened to chestnut, elm and ash trees in the United States in the last 120 years because of man's ability to spread disease and insects to places they never were before, it's too bad he wasn't able to speak earlier.

 

If you don't want your children "indoctrinated" by books that offend you, don't bring them to the library. Set up a library at home, consisting of books approved by you. And if your children, protected from ideas you find unacceptable, grow up unable to adapt to a world that is changing whether you want it to or not... Well, you made your choice. Choose wisely.
