• For my father the one calamity was that my brother and sister and I never learned to swim. My father, who was very macho, was a strong swimmer and was terribly disappointed to have children who didn't swim.

Then he looked down, and there were the three Sendak children lying perfectly still underwater, not fighting for life!
