Margaret Wise Brown (1910–1952), best known as the
author of Goodnight Moon, wrote countless children’s
books inspired by her belief that the very young are fascinated by
the simple pleasures of the world around them. Among her many
bestselling books are The Little Island, The Golden Egg Book,
The Color Kittens, and The Sailor Dog.
