Sadly, Maurice Sendak passed away today of complications from a recent stroke. He was widely considered the most important children’s book artist of the 20th century with books like “Where the Wild Things Are”, ”Outside Over There”, “In the Night Kitchen” and so many more.

This past January Sendak sat down with Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report. Watch the hilarious interview HERE.
