MAURICE SENDAK

Out of millions of books and dozens of genres, there is one story that sticks out for Brooklynites and beyond who visit one of the nation's largest library systems.

“We wanted people to understand that Maurice was actually a serious artist,” said Lynn Caponera, executive director of the Maurice Sendak Foundation in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Though most knew him as an illustrator and picture book artist, “they didn’t see beyond the fact that he did a lot more than that,” she said. "Wild Things are Happening" opened this month at the Columbus Museum of Art and runs through March 5, 2023. It's the first major retrospective of Sendak's work since his 2012 death and the largest and most complete to date. And then there is “Where The Wild Things Are,” featuring the fantastical nighttime adventures of a boy named Max on an island of monsters.
