"What is childhood without stories? And how will children fall in love with stories without bookstores? You can't get that from a computer."
Sarah Jio imagines the inspiration for Margaret Wise Brown's childhood classic Goodnight Moon in her novel, Goodnight June. A sweet and heartfelt story about a woman whose life is crumbling when she is called to handle her great-aunt's estate, including her beloved children's bookstore, Bluebird Books. Amid the store's papers, June discovers letters between her great-aunt and the late Margaret Wise Brown — and, in turn, creates a vivid story behind the pages of American literature.
