Happy birthday, Wild Thing!

Maurice Sendak's classic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are, has a birthday today—it's fifty years old! I'm a huge fan of the book, and even have a Spanish version of it. I love his unique and whimsical illustrations and inspiring story-telling. Sendak passed on last year, but his stories will live on forever to delight kids and grown ups who are kids at heart… like me!

Also, I really like the colors Sendak used in this illustration!
