I don't normally go in for all this tribute stuff, but Maurice Sendak was an incredible man with an incredible body of work. His Ida was one of my first heros. Just a couple weeks ago, we did a project with the artwork of children's stories, and I rediscovered so many of his works which I had loved.

"When Papa was away at sea, and Mama in the arbor, Ida played her wonder horn to rock the baby still - but never watched. So the goblins came. They pushed their way in and pulled baby out, leaving another all made of ice." - Outside Over There, my favorite book by Maurice Sendak.
