Each month is gay, Each season nice, When eating Chicken soup With rice - Maurice Sendak

Sipping once, sipping twice, sipping chicken soup with rice.

Then from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat, so he gave up being king of the wild things.

Maybe there are lots of children or certainly those who are not drawn to my work because they don't want to see those shadows. But, I'm telling what it was like for me. And I know it was not unique for me. I've known many children, many unhappy and many disturbed children who don't know how to talk about it. And you know, the strangest thing... the fan mail I get from kids are asking me questions which they do not ask their mothers and fathers. Because if they had, why write to me, a perfect stranger?
