Where the Wild Things Are

1988

by Maurice Sendak

Where the Wild Things Are takes us on a journey with Max, who, after being sent to bed without supper, imagines sailing away to a far-off land. This land is inhabited by the Wild Things, fearsome creatures who crown Max as their king. Rather than being a story of terror, it's a tale of empowerment and imagination as Max learns to navigate the challenges he faces.

Maurice Sendak's magnificent illustrations and succinct narrative have turned this book into a beloved classic for readers of all ages, making it a staple of children's literature. It's a celebration of creativity, with Max's wild rumpus resonating deeply with anyone who has ever dreamed of exploring their own personal wildness.
