June 10 is Maurice Sendak’s birthday and the Ridgefield Library is celebrating with a party.
Children in grades kindergarten through third are invited to drop in afterschool between 4:30 and 6, to enjoy crafts, games, refreshments and a short film.
The party is planned to honor the late Sendak’s long career committed to creating quality children’s picture books, including the 1964 Caldecott award-winning book Where the Wild Things Are.
Sendak lived in Ridgefield for several decades.
No registration is required to attend the party. Children may come anytime during the party hours to participate in any or all of the activities. For more information contact Children’s Services at 203-438-2282 ext. 12002.
