Maurice Sendak was born on June 10, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York, to Jewish immigrant parents from Poland.
A largely self-taught artist, Sendak illustrated over 100 books during his 60-year career, delighting children and
adults in every corner of the globe, including his hometown of New York City. This year would have been his 97th birthday.
