Book Synopsis

In this study, the engaging art created by childrenâs author Margaret Wise Brown receives the critical attention it deserves as a lasting contribution to American childrenâs literature. Through analysis of her dozens of titles published during the height of western Modernism, this scholarly text shares Brownâs importance and impact from the perspective of Brownâs work, rather than biographically. Moving beyond such popular titles as Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny into deeper cuts reveals how Brownâs oeuvre bridges multiple disciplines, including writing, visual art, philosophy, and music. Her projects successfully experiment with artistic collaboration and synesthesia as a natural expression for a child readership while both contributing to and reflecting high Modernism amidst the two World Wars. The quality of Brownâs writing and the maturity of her themes reveal respect for her child audience and recommend her work to the generations of readers who followed her
