May Hill Arbuthnot Honor Lecture
Maurice Sendak, as many of you may know, has long been the author's great hero, and he was a dear friend and mentor. For him, one of the most meaningful parts of winning the Caldecott Medal in 2008 was that it meant his name would forever be connected historically to his name. He's always been his higher standard, his bright enlightenment, and now he is deeply honored that his name is once again entwined with his, and with May Hill Arbuthnot's. The need to love and to be loved, this was another one of the categories May Hill Arbuthnot identified in her textbook on children's literature. She understood the deep central role that love plays in a child's life, and in the life of the adult the child will grow up to be. This, after all, is what everything comes down to. People want to love, and to be loved. This is what makes sense of everything else.
