“Great minds discuss ideas. Average Minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” Discussion group. All you need is an enquiring mind. Meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 2pm.
Join us as we explore the extraordinary life of the woman behind the beloved children’s classics Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Margaret Wise Brown comes alive author Amy Grant’s book In The Great Green Room. Margaret’s books sold millions of copies all over the world, but few people know that she was at the center of a children’s book publishing revolution. In 1990, Amy Gary discovered unpublished manuscripts and songs from Margaret Wise Brown tucked away in a trunk in the attic of Margaret’s sister’s barn. Since then, Gary has catalogued, edited, and researched all of Margaret’s writings. She has worked with several publishers to publish more than 100 of those manuscripts, which include bestsellers and Caldecott nominees.
