Maurice Sendak, the author of Where the Wild Things Are, has died at the age of 83. A rep for the author — and illustrator — confirmed that he passed away on Tuesday (May 8th) from complications of a recent stroke.
Where the Wild Things Are, which Sendak wrote in 1963, was adapted into a major motion picture in 2009.
Over the years he was awarded the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are, a 1970 Hans Christian Andersen Award for children’s book illustration, and a 1982 National Book Award in category Picture Books for Outside Over There.
Sendak was making public appearances as recently as last January, when he told Stephen Colbert, “There’s something in this country that is so opposed to understanding the complexity of children.”
His companion of 50 years, Eugene Glynn, died in 2007 and he has no other immediate family survivors.
