We Miss Maurice Sendak

"I grew up in the era of famous kidnapped babies, which played a part in Outside Over There. It was a re-creation of the Lindbergh kidnapping, which was so traumatic to me as a child. People say you mustn't frighten children, but you can't, because they already are frightened, they already know all these things. All you can do is console them."
(Show Me a Story!, ed. Leonard Marcus)
