Margaret Wise Brown, best known for Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny, wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life. Margaret loved animals, often featuring them in her rhythmic stories to engage children's minds. She frequently jotted down story ideas and poems on scraps of paper, claiming she dreamed stories and had to write them down before forgetting. She wrote in a style appealing to children and taught illustrators to draw from a child's perspective.
