4.Maurice Sendak,the award-winning writer and illustrator,died on May 8th,2012.During his career he produced more than 100children's books.For over sixty years,his artistic skill brought to life richly imaginative worlds filled with children,animals and magical creatures.Two of his works,Where the Wild Thing Are and In the Night Kitchen,gave new ideas to modern children's literature.Maurice Sendak was born in 1928in New York City.His parents were Jewish immigrants from Poland.As a child,Maurice was often sick.As a result,he stayed home and read books and drew pictures to entertain himself.
Maurice became known for stories that were often dark and intense.For example,Outside Over There is about a kidnapped(绑架) baby.Her sister leaves the safety of home to rescue the baby from a strange and dream-like world.Maurice said he got the idea for the story from a real-life kidnapping in 1932.The baby son of the famous pilot Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from home and murdered.Maurice was only a small child at the time.But he never forgot his fear as he listened to the radio broadcasts about the baby kidnapping.
Maurice grew up with continuous reminders about death.When he was sick,his grandmother dressed him in white clothes that she thought would help him avoid dying.During World War Two,many of his family members were murdered in the Nazi German death camps.He remembers his mother screaming and cry8ing each time she learned that another family member had been killed.Sometimes,his parents would talk about he dead relatives,especially the children.
These influences help explain an important part of Maurice Sendak's books.They often show children dealing with and overcoming evil forces and other complex situations.many of his stories are about a child trying to survive while facing fears or other difficult feelings.In his books,he skillfully combined adults'point of view with children's,and the dark and light in all of us.
