Goodnight Moon is a classic. But it was once shunned by libraries and derided by publishers. Luckily Margaret Wise Brown didn't write books to impress adults — she was speaking directly to children. @leonardsmarcus shares her story. https://t.co/OFIs6UTIOV

Nikolai Popov was a child during WWII. The perspective of a child on the absurdity of war in WHY? is as powerful today as ever. Our new release restores the wordless original, plus an afterword by @leonardsmarcus
Happy #BookBirthday to Nikolai Popov's WHY? 🎂 This seemingly simple #picturebook is an invaluable way to talk to young children about conflict and warfare. https://t.co/51XJYpnIRQ

"MIRANDY marks the point where I no longer felt I was just illustrating the book.I was IN the book, learning about a part of my culture I didn't know about & using it as fuel for the art. It's what you don't know that can become an open door to understanding."--Jerry Pinkney
