Today we are wishing a Happy Birthday to Maurice Sendak, who was born #onthisdate in 1928.
If you've not read Where The Wild Things Are, read it today. Or if you've not read it for a while, read it today.
And then let the wild rumpus start.

Reading for enjoyment is the single biggest predictor of a child's future happiness and success.
But kids reading books is in rapid decline:
-Kids who read almost daily has fallen from 53% to 39%.
-Kids who read for fun has fallen from 27% to 14%.
We need to fix this.
