You might be wondering what I'm doing talking about Maurice Sendak in a pregnancy blog, but hear me out. When I was pregnant in my first child, it was almost my due date, Dr. Seuss died. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news. The crazy pregnancy hormones had me bawling in my car. You would have thought they were going to take all of his books away at how horribly I felt about it. It took a few minutes for me to calm down and drive quickly to a bookstore. I purchased a few books and read them to my baby that night, even before she was born.
I reach out to you today, if you're feeling similarly with the death of Where the Wild Things Are, Maurice Sendak. If you're love his books and poetry, you know in your heart that the words will still be around and that you can share the love of Sendak's work with your children by reading to them.
Start today, even before your baby is born. What will you be reading in honor of Sendak?
