Why am I the last to know about Margaret Wise Brown? Chances are, if you don’t remember the name, you have heard her works, especially Goodnight Moon, a book written specifically for children and sandmen. While I had not heard of it, everyone to whom I have mentioned it has, some making snide references to that rock I must live under. Evidently my childhood was deprived— at least deprived of Ms. Brown and her wonderful works. I am not taking it personally, though, thanks to Virginia musicians Emily Gary and Tom Proutt. They contacted me awhile ago about a book they had recently been involved with, written by Ms. Brown, titled Goodnight Songs.
