A deeply moving tribute to Maurice Sendak, a seminal talent whose conflicts with success and lifelong obsession with death have subtly influenced his work. Sendak is best known for his book, Where The Wild Things Are, which he wrote twelve years into his career as a writer and illustrator. It would go on to become one of the most beloved and critically lauded children's books of all time and, would come to define his career.

Through his own words, personal photos, and illustrations, Sendak offers a rare, intimate, and unexpected look at his exceptional life.
