Brown was Hollins College graduate (A.B. 1932) and children's author of over 100 books, including Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. After earning her degree in English Literature, she attended the Bank Street School in New York for teacher training where she was inspired to write for children. She also served as William R. Scott's first editor in 1938. Her works employed the "here and now" approach of the Bank Street School's philosphy: the everyday world of the young child. Sense perception, size comparison, and reader participation were utilized in her books. Brown died in 1952 at age 42 |
