When you hide another story in a story, thatโs the story I am telling the children.
Maurice SendakI cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more.
Maurice SendakMost children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child, I think. I was a liar.
