Good
Night Moon is
part one of a two-part project that explores the dream life
of a child who has lost her favorite toy. She imagines going
out into the night in search of it while everyone is asleep.
The project is based on an event from my own childhood and
takes inspiration from Goodnight Moon and The
Runaway Bunny, both written by Margaret Wise Brown,
and illustrated by Clement Hurd. Although these books were
not familiar to me when I was a child, I read them as an
adult while doing research for another project. Their uncanny
connection to the story from my childhood moved me like
twin beats from a far away childish heart.
