“Grown-ups desperately need to feel safe, and then they project onto the kids.
But what none of us seem to realize is how smart kids are.
They don’t like what we write for them, what we dish up for them, because it’s vapid,
so they’ll go for the hard words, they’ll go for the hard concepts,
they’ll go for the stuff where they can learn something.
Not didactic things, but passionate things.”
― Maurice Sendak, author / illustrator,
who created Where the Wild Things Are.
Today is his birthday!
