Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) was born on June 10, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York, to Jewish immigrant parents from Poland. Sendak, largely a self-taught artist, illustrated over a hundred books during his sixty-year career.

Sendak began a second career as a costume and set designer in the late 1970s, designing operas that included Krása's Brundibar, Mozart's The Magic Flute, Prokofiev's The Love for Three Oranges, and Engelbert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel, as well as Tchaikovsky's ballet, The Nutcracker. He also designed the sets and costumes, and wrote the libretto and lyrics for the musical production of Really Rosie.

Maurice Sendak remains the most awarded children's book artist in history. He received the Caldecott Medal in 1964, the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1970, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award in 1983, and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in 2003. In 1996, President Bill Clinton awarded him the National Medal of Arts in recognition of his contribution to the arts in America.
