How he lit up my life with his stories and drawings--stark and funny and sad and defiant and passionate. My daughter's face in deep concentration as she studied the pages of the Nutshell Library, and three-year-old voice singing, "boiled up a pot, of chicken soup, and swallowed it away." How many times had I excitedly given his books to the children in my life? There will be many more times.
As Maurice Sendak said: "Live your life! Live your life! Live your life!"
