  • The Ethel and Ira Levine Maurice Sendak Collection
    The Ethel and Ira Levine Maurice Sendak Collection In 2015, Ethel and Ira Levine of Silver Spring, Maryland gave a large portion of their Maurice Sendak Collection to the Library of Congress. Many of the items are on display in the Children’s Literature Center. “Mrs. Levine’s Sendak-kids, which she gave as part of her collection” In the article below, Mrs. Levine described how the collection came about. “During a high school Humanities class in high school, a friend introduced us to Where The Wild Things Are. She began her presentation by handing out keys to our imaginations. I was hooked for life when I became introduced to Max, making mischief of one kind and another. The following year, while browsing at a college book store, another friend began to read Sendak's Alligators All Around, part of the Nutshell Library. We quickly dissolved into hysterics, reading about the alligators ordering oatmeal and x-ing x's. It was difficult to regain our composure! As an elementary school teacher, some few years later, I began to share my love of all things Sendak with my students. Visitors to our classroom were greeted by Hooray for Everyday, a Sendak and Krauss poster. I tried to embrace that philosophy, daily imprinting it upon my students. As a parent, I sought to instill Sendak's art, humor, wisdom and kindness into the books I shared with my children, offering them a nightly treasure trove of his comedic wealth and promise. As the wild rumpus of amassing took shape, life-long correspondences and much cherished friendships developed.
