Margaret had a boundless imagination and a gift for spinning stories. Most grown-ups thought children's books were frivolous and silly, but Margaret didn't agree. Could writing stories for children be important work--a incredible way to share truth, beauty, and wonder? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eGoodnight Moon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Runaway Bunny­\u003c\/i\u003e, and other classics beloved by children around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From smuggling rabbits onto trains, to scribbling stories about island whispers, Margaret embraced adventure in life and on the page. This whimsically illustrated biography shares how an independent, fun-loving woman became a trailblazing pioneer of the picture-book form. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlabama Department of Education\u003c\/b\u003e Alabama Children's Choice Camellia Award 2-3 Nonfiction Nominee (2022-2023) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCandice Ransom\u003c\/b\u003e has written over 150 books for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eBones in the White House\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAmanda Panda and the Bigger, Better Birthday\u003c\/i\u003e (both Doubleday).
