Meet Maurice Sendak. Illustrator and writer Maurice Sendak changed the world of children's books. Fact-filled Rookie Read-About Biographies introduce the youngest readers to influential women and men, both past and present. Colorful photos and age appropriate text encourage children to read on their own-as they learn about people like Serena Williams, Neil Armstrong, Rosa Parks, Anne Frank and many more. Sendak showed youngsters a more realistic world-where sometimes kids are angry and sometimes they are naughty. And along the way he became one of the most beloved children's authors of all time. Learn all about his artistic journey in the pages of this book.
