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\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Candice Ransom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eerdmans Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802855084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2021 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\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).
