I have been enjoying your posts for the past year. Several of Margaret Wise Brown's Books have had places on my shelves for many years. To all of you thinking of writing a children's book. Do it! Write, draw, keep going. Join the Society of Children's Writers and Illustrators and a critic group. Be careful of contracting with independent publishing companies -- you may end up with a boxes of books to give away to friends and family. Enjoy the creation.
I enjoyed this post so much and love the examples you chose to illustrate your 5 points. As a mom and former kindergarten teacher, I’ve spent many hours with Margaret Wise Brown’s books, reading them always leaves me feeling peaceful and content. 🥰
If I were ever to get a tattoo, “the peepers were peeping” would be very, VERY high up there on possible lines from literature I’d be willing to give space on my body.

I loved this, and it makes me realise I don’t know MWB well that all. Time for a deep dive I think. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks you! And oh yes, you will enjoy a deep dive so much. There is much to explore.
Oof, I knew she died young but 42! What a shame.
I know! Tragic way to go too, but in MWB’s flair!
Loved every bit of this. Also I'm very excited about your stories.
☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
I hope you gave a listen to that "Criminal" podcast episode about MWB I sent your way...it was so lovely. ;-)
Thanks! I listen to every podcast about MWB :)
You're welcome! Didn't hear back so wasn't sure...

So good!
P.S. This was outstanding, as always. I love how you see… everything.
Thanks, Sarah! I'm always trying to see things with fresh eyes!
