On the day you were born
the Earth turned, the Moon pulled,
the Sun flared, and, then, with a push,
you slipped out of the dark quiet
where suddenly you could hear . . .
. . . a circle of people singing
with voices familiar and clear.

That very night in Max’s room a forest grew
and grew—
and grew until his ceiling hung with vines
and the walls became the world all around

and almost over a year
to where the wild things are.
Where the Wild Things Are, Maurice Sendak
