AMEN!!! Agree agree agree. Have you ever read the picture book I'LL BE YOU, AND YOU BE ME, by Ruth Kraus illustrated by Maurice Sendak? The first time I read it (Maurice's own copy(!!!)), I was bathed in waves of glorious silliness with each page turn. "The Sanctity of Silliness" - that's it.

How did I miss that one?? I love a Kraus-Sendak combo. I’m going to look it up immediately. And, lucky you…Maurice’s own copy? It must’ve been levitating with sacred silliness.

(Oh, I somehow missed this response!) YES! It's an older one, and I hadn't heard of it before either. You'll love it! "levitating with sacred silliness"...YES! 😘
