Krauss and Sendak collaborated on eight books Ruth Ida Krauss (1901 – 1993) was an American writer of children's books, including The Carrot Seed, and of theatrical poems for adult readers. Many of her books are still in print. Maurice Bernard Sendak was an American author and illustrator of children's books. He became most widely known for his book Where the Wild Things Are, first published in 1963. But Krauss’s eighth and final collaboration with Sendak, Open House for Butterflies was arguably their loveliest. Originally published in 1960 and thankfully, this tiny treasure is a timeless smile-inducer for children and grown-ups alike.
