Only Margaret: A Story about Margaret Wise Brown<\/em>
\nby Candice Ransom (Author) and Nan Lawson (Illustrator)
\n@ Amazon<\/a> | Bookshop<\/a> | IndieBound<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> When Halley\u2019s comet arrived in 1910, so did an extraordinary person: Margaret Wise Brown. Margaret had a boundless imagination and a gift for spinning stories. Most grown-ups thought children\u2019s books were frivolous and silly, but Margaret didn\u2019t agree. Could writing stories for children be important work–a incredible way to share truth, beauty, and wonder? <\/p>\n

Other people might call Margaret strange, and sometimes her own worries and doubts felt overwhelming. But only Margaret and her original ideas could lead to Goodnight Moon<\/em>, The Runaway Bunny<\/em>, and other classics beloved by children around the world. <\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> One night, Margaret dreamed of a green room and a red balloon and a picture of a cow jumping over the moon. The next morning, she reached for the notebook by her bed. Her pen sped, scrawling line after line about a bunny who named all the things in his room before he went to sleep.<\/p>\n
