PBS - Maurice Sendak Dies at Age 83, May 13, 2012

"Maurice Sendak, the author and illustrator of children's literature who was best known for his book, "Where the Wild Things Are," died early Tuesday in Danbury, Conn., at age 83. He had suffered a stroke on Friday.
Sendak came to fame in 1963 after the publication of "Where the Wild Things Are," for which he won the Caldecott Medal. He authored dozens of children's books over the following years, including another big hit in 1970, "In the Night Kitchen."
In 2002, for a segment about an exhibition on children's illustrations, Jeffrey Brown sat down with Sendak to talk about his roots as an artist and his interest in exploring children's perceptions of everyday life."
