A Library Journal Audio-in-Advance Pick for January 2017

A BookPage Top Pick for January 2017

Children and parents everywhere love Goodnight Moon, but few know its author, Margaret Wise Brown. Quirky and wildly imaginative, she threw wild parties and lived extravagantly off of her royalties. In 1990 author Amy Gary discovered Margaret’s unpublished manuscripts. Since then, Gary has pored over these works and her book captures the spirit of Brown’s unrivaled talent.
