"'till Luke said 'BE STILL!' and tamed them with the old mind trick."

On the occasion of Maurice Sendak’s passing:

Found that at Nerd Approved. It’s done by an illustrator named Jim Jeroo, or at least that’s what he goes by. Here’s his TwitPic page.

Sendak, of course, wrote “Where the Wild Things Are,” which about all of us have read at one time or another. And which made him famous. He wrote a lot of other stuff, too:

Sendak’s other groundbreaking works include “In the Night Kitchen,” “Outside Over There,” “The Sign on Rosie’s Door,” “Higglety Pigglety Pop!” and “The Nutshell Library.” “Bumble-Ardy,” his first book in 30 years, was published by HarperCollins last year. A posthumous picture book, “My Brother’s Book,” is slated for 2012.

I never heard of any of those, but I’ll bet bookstores will be stocking up soon.
