Maurice Sendak passes away, pandas everywhere mourn…..

I have to admit, I had thought that Maurice Sendak was gone years ago.  Maybe because his books were among my favorites as a young cubbie.  His quirky and dark sense of humor continues to be an inspiration to me with my own work.  Imagine my surprise to find that he was still alive, at least until this past Tuesday.  I have to admit, that the idea of honoring him with a wild rumpus was not my original idea.  On Tuesday night there was a meeting of the SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) in Seattle.  So, thanks for the idea.  I do believe I was the first to have the panda kindergarten rumpus in his honor.

Nobody can rumpus like the panda kindergarten!

 

Be the Bear!
