Back in January, I fell in love with the author Maurice Sendak, after watching an interview (part 1 and part 2) of him with Stephen Colbert. He is best known for writing and illustrating Where Wild Things Are. I was very sad to hear he passed away yesterday but last night Colbert played a video tribute (watch here) with some more footage from his interviews. Here is my favorite exchange between them.
Colbert: What's the best thing a parent can do for their child?
Sendak: Love him/her
Colbert: What does that mean?
Sendak: Take them for what they are.
Maurice Sendak was a truly amazing author and artist. I look forward to one day giving my children his books.
