Aug 28, 2014 | Filed in People
For our 60th anniversary, SLJ's dipped into the archive. To kick off our contribution to #tbt, we offer this image of a young Maurice Sendak and a mischievous staffer.
From the vaults of School Library Journal, we bring you this image... Sendak to post We were there when Maurice Sendak received the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are. That's an SLJ staffer on hand to "make a wild thing out of Mr. Sendak" as he spoke to New York Times book review editor George Woods.
