I'll be you, and you be me.

RIP Maurice Sendak... and lately spending some extra time enjoying the titles from our own library. This book is one of my very most favorites. Ruth Krauss's words and Sendak's drawings are so complimentary, so gorgeously authentic and spare.

I'll Be You and You Be Me, by Ruth Krauss, pictures by Maurice Sendak, HarperCollins, 1954.
