They’ll install panels on your house for no money; you just have to commit to buying your electricity from them for a few years.

Maurice Sendak Q&A | An interview that took place... →
Someone once said that Maurice Sendak, children’s book author and illustrator, drew “little old people worrying away their childhoods.” It’s true: Sendak’s work is remarkable for its lack of sentimentality and its depiction of childhood as it really is, a time of coming to grips with the sometimes unpleasant and frightening world around you — a reality that children’s literature often tries to...
