Margaret Wise Brown

    May 23, 1910 – November 13, 1952

    Margaret Wise Brown was an incredibly prolific author whose works continue to resonate with readers decades after her passing. She often featured animal characters in her stories, experimenting with rhythm and language to stimulate children's imaginations and critical thinking. Brown possessed a unique ability to write in a way that mirrored a child's perspective, and she inspired illustrators to capture a similar sense of innocence and delight. She considered herself a writer of songs and nonsense, but her creative genius and vibrant spirit left an indelible mark on children's literature.

    • Goodnight Moon In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room -- to the picture of the three little bears sitting in chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one -- he says goodnight. In this classic of modern children's literature, beloved by generations of readers and listeners, the quiet poetry of the words and the gentle, lulling illustrations combine to make a perfect book for the end of the day. The Runaway Bunny Clement Hurd redrew some of his pictures for this new edition of the profoundly comforting story of a bunny's imaginary game of hide-and-seek and the lovingly steadfast mother who finds him every time.

    • The Moon Shines Down

      • 2 hours of reading

      Forgotten for decades in a dusty trunk, this work brings back the unmistakable voice of Margaret Wise Brown, allowing a new generation of children to discover and cherish her artistry. Never before published, it shines a light on children worldwide, from "a Dutch boy dreams" to "across the sea in the Far, Far East," echoing the familiar lines: "I see the Moon And the Moon sees me. God bless the Moon, And God bless me." Brown, a pioneer of children's literature, wrote stories that resonated with children rather than adults. She is best known for classics like Good Night Moon and Runaway Bunny, which remain best-sellers. At the height of her career, she had over 100 books in print, but her untimely death left many manuscripts forgotten in a cedar trunk. This work was rescued from that trunk. Illustrator Linda Bleck began her artistic journey as a child, drawing on blueprint paper and later assisting her mother, a freelance illustrator. Her work has appeared in notable publications, and she is also known for the "Pepper the Dog" series. This manuscript, published 56 years after Brown's death, was discovered in a Vermont barn, yellowed and rusted. Publisher Laura Minchew took on the challenge to complete it, crafting a bedtime classic that serves as a prayer for God's blessing on all children.
