Where The Wild Things Are was my favorite book as a young child, and I can still picture it's exact location on the bottom row at Steven's Elementary School library. I can also remember that once I got older, the librarian told me I should start looking at books on some of the higher shelves, but I ignored her and kept reading my favorite book.
Today I found out that Maurice Sendak, the book's author, was/is gay. Read the story from Towleroad here.
