In the Great Green Room by Amy Gary

In the Great Green Room is one of the best non-fiction titles we’ve read in a very long time. Margaret Wise Brown was the prolific author behind two of the most beloved children’s classics: Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. She perfectly captured a child’s sense of awe and wonder throughout her works. But there’s more to Brown than her literature. She lived an extravagant and eccentric life before suddenly and unexpectedly passing away at the age of forty-two. Amy Gary perfectly captures Brown’s larger-than-life fame and personality, and she draws on new letters, diaries, and historical information to paint a telling portrait of the children’s literature icon.Click here to buy.
