Wild Things: The Art of Maurice Sendak

Teachers, librarians, and school staff are invited to explore the work of renowned children’s book author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, subject of the 2005 Jewish Museum exhibition, Wild Things: The Art of Maurice Sendak. Arthur Yorinks', award-winning author and director, will speak about his collaborations with Sendak, including most recently, Presto and Zesto in Limboland, published after Sendak’s death, and will discuss how Sendak inspired Yorinks’ own work. Following the presentation, a Jewish Museum educator will facilitate activities and a discussion of Sendak’s illustrations.
