I'm beginning to see I wasn't as hippie or cool as I thought! I was too much of a tomboy for makeup. I did want to henna my hair in my 30s, but by then, I had already started using chemical colours and apparently, one should never mix them. <br /><br />You know, for a moment, I thought the kohl comment was for Georgia, who has very Arabic eyes.

It's been a long time since I read a children's book but when they are done as well as Mr. Sednak's they are as lovely as any of the more pretentious novels. Perhaps even more valuable.

He recognized the darkness that is part of childhood and spoke to it while respecting children for their innate child-ness.<br /><br />He was a troubled person who never stopped trying to evolve. He looked deeply and boldly at terrible things in the world. <br /><br />I loved watching the documentary about the development of a ballet based in Brunderbar, the children's opera performed at concentration camps so Hitler could prove to the world he was not mistreating the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and others he interned and ultimately killed.<br /><br />Sendak developed the sets and was the creative power behind the entire project.<br /><br />If you want a real treat, you should listen to excerpts of interviews he did with Terry Gross over the years. I believe Terry Gross is possibly the best interviewer in the English language. Sendak agreed and told her last year that he was never inspired to open up with other interviewers the way he did with her.<br /><br />It's an hour. But I think you'll find it worth the time. http://www.npr.org/2012/05/08/152248901/fresh-air-remembers-author-maurice-sendak<br /><br />Thanks for your beautiful tribute.
