The Important Thing About Margaret Wise Brown by Mac Barnett
Balzer & Bray, HarperCollins. 2019.
“Children’s writer Mac Barnett makes his first foray into nonfiction with this unconventional, insightful, and poignant book about Goodnight Moon author Margaret Wise Brown. Barnett’s prose is full of the same intentionality, playfulness, and deep respect for young readers that were hallmarks of Brown’s work, and Jacoby’s illustrations are perfectly composed, with visuals that are simply breathtaking.”
“In Jacoby’s elegant debut, time is both a riddle and a poem: ‘Perhaps it is a ghost/ it can come and go/ and you never even notice it was there,’ she writes. Her soft illustrations, in lovely sunrise, sunset and moonlight colors, capture both wide-open spaces and the enduring bonds of family love.”
“The point of this enchanted debut is that ‘we’ve only got what we’ve got, and our time with each other is the best time!”
