"Yes, indeed I care!"

"I care!" Thanks to Pierre...

 and Maurice Sendak.

The Nutshell Library was and is one of my most treasured items. I remember bringing it with me on the Christopher Robin-like "trips" I would take around my house.  

Some of my other favorite Sendak books...

What Can You Do With a Shoe?

I'll Be You and You Be Me

Little Bear

I am sad, sad that this incredible person and incredible talent is gone.  
I am thankful, thankful that I grew up on a healthy diet of Sendak books.   

Sendak was a daring dreamer and derring-do deliverer who gave readers an opportunity to be part of his "rumpus."
