\nThere is a large green room with a red floor, a red bed, and a red bal\u00adloon hang\u00ading in the air; the quilt on the bed is green, the bed\u00adside table is yel\u00adlow, the tele\u00adphone is black, the small rug beside the bed is a tiger skin with black and yel\u00adlow stripes, and the large round rug in the cen\u00adter of the room is light pink; there are two paint\u00adings hang\u00ading on the wall, one of which is a cow jump\u00ading over the moon, and the oth\u00ader is a pic\u00adture of three lit\u00adtle bears sit\u00adting on a chair. The back\u00adground of the pic\u00adture is blue, and look\u00ading out the win\u00addow of the room, the night sky dot\u00adted with stars is deep blue.\u2026<\/span>Oh, we also missed the most impor\u00adtant char\u00adac\u00adter \u2014 the lit\u00adtle rab\u00adbit sit\u00adting on the bed in paja\u00admas.

In terms of quan\u00adti\u00adty, there are at least half of the things in the room that I haven\u2019t men\u00adtioned.

\nfrom1947<\/span>Since Good\u00adnight Moon was pub\u00adlished in 1999, gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions of read\u00aders, young and old, have had sim\u00adi\u00adlar read\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adences: adults read the min\u00adi\u00admal text in the book (for\u00adtu\u00adnate\u00adly it rhymes), while chil\u00addren find var\u00adi\u00adous things in the pic\u00adtures (espe\u00adcial\u00adly the tiny mouse run\u00adning around), and then slow\u00adly chant \u201cGood\u00adnight, Moon\u201d all the way.\u201d<\/span>\u201cGood night, that\u201d<\/span>, I calmed down uncon\u00adscious\u00adly, and final\u00adly fell into a sound sleep.\n<\/span><\/p>

\nGood\u00adnight Moon is a very mag\u00adi\u00adcal book. Chil\u00addren may fall in love with it uncon\u00adscious\u00adly, but their super\u00adfi\u00adcial reac\u00adtion is very qui\u00adet. Adults may find it dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to res\u00adonate with it imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly because chil\u00addren are \u201cbland\u201d.\u201d<\/span>The reac\u00adtion was that this was just an ordi\u00adnary bed\u00adtime book, too sim\u00adple to arouse peo\u00adple\u2019s inter\u00adest. But the inter\u00adest\u00ading thing is that when those chil\u00addren grew up and became par\u00adents, they would spon\u00adta\u00adneous\u00adly find this book and read it to their own chil\u00addren with piety.\u2014\u2014<\/span>I\u2019m not kid\u00adding, this is indeed the orig\u00adi\u00adnal expe\u00adri\u00adence of \u201cGood\u00adnight Moon\u201d.<\/span>
\n
\nAlthough today, Mar\u00adgaret\u00b7<\/span>Wise Brown and Clement\u00b7<\/span>The book that Hurd and Hurd col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adrat\u00aded on is regard\u00aded as a clas\u00adsic among pic\u00adture book clas\u00adsics. Its impor\u00adtance and pop\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty even sur\u00adpassed their oth\u00ader col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion, The Run\u00adaway Bun\u00adny. How\u00adev\u00ader, when it was pub\u00adlished, the response from Amer\u00adi\u00adcan chil\u00addren\u2019s book crit\u00adics was quite luke\u00adwarm. The New York Pub\u00adlic Library, regard\u00aded as an author\u00adi\u00adty in the chil\u00addren\u2019s library world, even refused to include it on its rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded read\u00ading list, which also led to mediocre sales per\u00adfor\u00admance in the first few years.1947<\/span>It was only sold in the autumn of that year.6000<\/span>Ben, until1953<\/span>In 2016, the annu\u00adal sales vol\u00adume was1500<\/span>Ben was hes\u00adi\u00adtat\u00ading. And Mar\u00adgaret was almost at the same time\u201c<\/span>Gold\u00aden Chil\u00addren\u2019s Book\u201d<\/span>The series of \u201cFive Lit\u00adtle Fire\u00adfight\u00aders\u201d was sold out in the first year17<\/span>She sold 10,000 books a year and then over a mil\u00adlion the fol\u00adlow\u00ading year. She is a best\u00adseller in the chil\u00addren\u2019s book world.<\/span>
\n
\nIn fact, it is nor\u00admal for adults to not ful\u00adly accept this book at first.\u00b7<\/span>Carl (cre\u00adator of \u201cThe Very Hun\u00adgry Cater\u00adpil\u00adlar\u201d) admit\u00adted in an inter\u00adview that when he first encoun\u00adtered \u201cGood\u00adnight Moon,\u201d he did\u00adn\u2019t under\u00adstand the book\u2019s appeal. By then, he was already an adult, hop\u00ading to find the secret to cre\u00adat\u00ading pic\u00adture books. How\u00adev\u00ader, as he gained more cre\u00adative expe\u00adri\u00adence and engaged more deeply with chil\u00addren, he grad\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly under\u00adstood why such a sim\u00adple book could have such a mag\u00adi\u00adcal effect.<\/span>
\n
\nThere is also a schol\u00adar named Leonard\u00b7S.<\/span>As a young man, Mr. Mar\u00adcus was deeply fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00aded by the writ\u00ading and study of poet\u00adry. He stum\u00adbled upon this chil\u00addren\u2019s book in a book\u00adstore and was struck by the thought: \u201cIsn\u2019t this a poem?\u201d It was a poem, rather mys\u00adte\u00adri\u00adous and rich\u00adly sym\u00adbol\u00adic. As a poet, he was instant\u00adly cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00aded! He was curi\u00adous about the author, Mar\u00adgaret, and this curios\u00adi\u00adty led him into the world of chil\u00addren\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture. He lat\u00ader spent ten years com\u00adpil\u00ading Mar\u00adgaret\u2019s biog\u00adra\u00adphy, \u201cWak\u00ading by the Moon,\u201d and from there, he grad\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly delved deep\u00ader into the sub\u00adject, becom\u00ading a renowned crit\u00adic and his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adan of chil\u00addren\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture. Thanks to his metic\u00adu\u00adlous and pas\u00adsion\u00adate com\u00adpi\u00adla\u00adtion and research, we now have a clear under\u00adstand\u00ading of the entire process of the cre\u00adation of this remark\u00adable book.\n<\/span><\/p>

Unsure if it was a pub\u00adlish\u00adable work, she called Harper\u2019s edi\u00adtor, Ursu\u00adla, a leg\u00adend in the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan chil\u00addren\u2019s book world and a high\u00adly inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive edi\u00adtor who had pub\u00adlished Mar\u00adgaret and Clemen\u00adt\u2019s The Run\u00adaway Bun\u00adny a few years ear\u00adli\u00ader. Ursu\u00adla loved the idea and signed it off almost imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly. Thus began the long process of pol\u00adish\u00ading the man\u00adu\u00adscript and wait\u00ading for the illus\u00adtra\u00adtor.\n<\/span><\/p>

\nMar\u00adgaret decid\u00aded from the begin\u00adning that the most suit\u00adable illus\u00adtra\u00adtor for this book was Clement\u00b7<\/span>Hurd, she nev\u00ader seemed to doubt it. Although she col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adrat\u00aded with many illus\u00adtra\u00adtors at the same time, some of her works brought her high pres\u00adtige and income at the time, which could afford the rather lux\u00adu\u00adri\u00adous life she was will\u00ading to live, but this book was very spe\u00adcial to her, and it was obvi\u00adous\u00adly a very chal\u00adleng\u00ading book in the chil\u00addren\u2019s book world at the time. She had to ask Clement, who had a very calm per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, to draw it. She and Clement were extreme\u00adly pre\u00addes\u00adtined. Clement was the son of a banker and a top stu\u00addent at Yale Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty, but he was unwill\u00ading to fol\u00adlow in his father\u2019s foot\u00adsteps. He went to Paris to study art, and when he was pen\u00adni\u00adless, he ran back to the Unit\u00aded States to engage in design and art cre\u00adation. At that time, Mar\u00adgaret had com\u00adplet\u00aded fur\u00adther stud\u00adies in ear\u00adly child\u00adhood edu\u00adca\u00adtion and chil\u00addren\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture cre\u00adation at the famous Bank Street School of Edu\u00adca\u00adtion.

They empha\u00adsize that sto\u00adries must be con\u00adsis\u00adtent with the cur\u00adrent life expe\u00adri\u00adences of chil\u00addren.1937<\/span>In 1996, Mar\u00adgaret pub\u00adlished her first chil\u00addren\u2019s book and became the chil\u00addren\u2019s book edi\u00adtor of Scott Pub\u00adlish\u00ading Com\u00adpa\u00adny. It was in this posi\u00adtion that she dis\u00adcov\u00adered the tal\u00adent of Clement, who was still wan\u00adder\u00ading around, for chil\u00addren\u2019s book illus\u00adtra\u00adtions. She pub\u00adlished his first book and invit\u00aded him to study at Bank Street Col\u00adlege of Edu\u00adca\u00adtion, thus intro\u00adduc\u00ading him to the fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading world of chil\u00addren\u2019s books. At the same time, she was also work\u00ading for\u201c<\/span>Here and Now\u201d<\/span>Her class\u00admates and col\u00adleagues in the cre\u00adative team pub\u00adlished books, includ\u00ading her close friend Edith Thatch\u00ader (nick\u00adnamed \u201cPer\u00adcy\u201d). Lat\u00ader, Clement and Per\u00adcy got mar\u00adried, and Mar\u00adgaret nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly became the cou\u00adple\u2019s most spe\u00adcial friend.\n<\/span><\/p>

\nMar\u00adgaret assured Ursu\u00adla that Clement was the per\u00adfect per\u00adson to illus\u00adtrate \u201cGood\u00adnight Moon.\u201d Ursu\u00adla obvi\u00adous\u00adly agreed, but the prob\u00adlem was that he was not in the Unit\u00aded States at the time. He was serv\u00ading in the US Air Force, most like\u00adly in the Pacif\u00adic The\u00adater fight\u00ading the Japan\u00adese. Who knew when that damned world war would end? Who could guar\u00adan\u00adtee that the sol\u00addier who paint\u00aded \u201cThe Run\u00adaway Bun\u00adny\u201d would ever return alive?<\/span>
\n
\n1945<\/span>One night before Christ\u00admas, Clement final\u00adly returned to New York. It was one in the morn\u00ading when Per\u00adcy met him at the train sta\u00adtion. They took a taxi to Mar\u00adgaret\u2019s apart\u00adment in New York and found that the door was not locked. The room was soft\u00adly lit, with flow\u00aders and soft music play\u00ading. The fur blan\u00adkets that Mar\u00adgaret liked were spread every\u00adwhere. How\u00adev\u00ader, the host\u00adess was nowhere to be found. She left the whole house to the reunit\u00aded cou\u00adple.\u2026<\/span>That very next day, she hand\u00aded the illus\u00adtra\u00adtion work of \u201cGood\u00adnight Moon\u201d to Clement!<\/span>
\n
\nLook\u00ading back today, we can see how much Mar\u00adgaret val\u00adued this work. How\u00adev\u00ader, at that time, how did she know that this would be one of her most impor\u00adtant works? How could she be sure that the illus\u00adtra\u00adtor had to be Clement? In fact, the edi\u00adtor Ursu\u00adla was not 100% sure at the time.1946<\/span>Year1<\/span>moon25<\/span>In a let\u00adter she wrote to the writer on the 15th, she con\u00adtin\u00adued to ask, \u201cCan you give me anoth\u00ader copy of the man\u00adu\u00adscript for Good\u00adnight Moon? I want to try to find anoth\u00ader painter\u2026\u201d\u201d<\/span>(See Ursu\u00adla\u2019s col\u00adlec\u00adtion of let\u00adters, Dear Genius.) Ursu\u00adla\u2019s con\u00adcerns are very under\u00adstand\u00adable, because it often takes a long time for a wan\u00adder\u00ader who has returned from a bloody bat\u00adtle\u00adfield to regain his com\u00adpo\u00adsure and return to nor\u00admal work, not to men\u00adtion cre\u00adat\u00ading works that can bring joy to chil\u00addren.\u00b7<\/span>After return\u00ading from the Chi\u00adnese bat\u00adtle\u00adfield, DeJong (who lat\u00ader became the first Amer\u00adi\u00adcan writer to win the Hans Chris\u00adt\u00adian Ander\u00adsen Award) spent near\u00adly5<\/span>It took years to return to its orig\u00adi\u00adnal cre\u00adative state!\n<\/span><\/p>

\nClement could be said to have cre\u00adat\u00aded a mir\u00ada\u00adcle: after sev\u00ader\u00adal rounds of adjust\u00adments and revi\u00adsions,1946<\/span>Year3<\/span>By the end of the month, he had cre\u00adat\u00aded a pro\u00adto\u00adtype that sat\u00adis\u00adfied both Mar\u00adgaret and Ursu\u00adla! He then worked dili\u00adgent\u00adly through\u00adout the spring, final\u00adly com\u00adplet\u00ading the first draft that rough\u00adly resem\u00adbles the one we see today. Lit\u00adtle writ\u00adten record remains of the process of draw\u00ading and dis\u00adcussing the book, like\u00adly due to the close rela\u00adtion\u00adship between the three, as com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion was con\u00adduct\u00aded in per\u00adson and over the phone. What we do know is that Clemen\u00adt\u2019s orig\u00adi\u00adnal cov\u00ader includ\u00aded the bun\u00adny, but was removed at Ursu\u00adla\u2019s sug\u00adges\u00adtion, as she want\u00aded young read\u00aders to see them\u00adselves as the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnists of the book. The basic idea for the large room came from Mar\u00adgaret, who sug\u00adgest\u00aded draw\u00ading from Matis\u00adse\u2019s \u201cThe Red House,\u201d but with a large green back\u00adground, both to cre\u00adate a peace\u00adful bed\u00adtime atmos\u00adphere and as a sym\u00adbol of peace. Over\u00adall, how\u00adev\u00ader, the draw\u00ading process flowed smooth\u00adly. Can you imag\u00adine such a calm\u00ading and cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00ading chil\u00addren\u2019s pic\u00adture book com\u00ading from a sol\u00addier who had just returned from World War II? Clement was\u00adn\u2019t a father yet; his and Per\u00adcy\u2019s son would\u00adn\u2019t arrive for anoth\u00ader three years. Per\u00adhaps it was Mar\u00adgaret\u2019s poem that inspired him, per\u00adhaps it was his own child\u00adhood mem\u00ado\u00adries that gave him such mag\u00adic, or per\u00adhaps it was the writ\u00ading of this book that suc\u00adcess\u00adful\u00adly helped him com\u00adplete his men\u00adtal heal\u00ading.

\nA psy\u00adchol\u00ado\u00adgist once shared a read\u00ading sto\u00adry:18<\/span>The month-old boy lis\u00adtened to his moth\u00ader read \u201cGood\u00adnight, Moon\u201d and the pic\u00adture was spread out in the dark\u00adened room.\u201c<\/span>Large Green Room\u201d<\/span>, the text in the low\u00ader right cor\u00adner is\u201c<\/span>Good night, all sounds\u201d<\/span>The lit\u00adtle bun\u00adny on the bed final\u00adly fell asleep. The lit\u00adtle boy used his left foot to press against the left side of the paint\u00ading, while try\u00ading to place his right foot on top. In this stren\u00adu\u00adous strug\u00adgle, he actu\u00adal\u00adly cried. It took his moth\u00ader a while to real\u00adize that the boy was try\u00ading to escape into that warm, adorable world! What kind of mag\u00adic is this?<\/span>

\nGood\u00adnight Moon is now incred\u00adi\u00adbly famous and a best\u00adseller world\u00adwide, with numer\u00adous papers and books devot\u00aded to its study. Peo\u00adple rev\u00adel in its cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00ading rhythm and mar\u00advel at the bold col\u00adors. The details with\u00adin the pic\u00adtures have been metic\u00adu\u00adlous\u00adly explored, with spec\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtions raised about the order and place\u00adment of their appear\u00adances and the psy\u00adcho\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal impli\u00adca\u00adtions they might rep\u00adre\u00adsent. For exam\u00adple, there\u2019s been a live\u00adly dis\u00adcus\u00adsion about why the tele\u00adphone men\u00adtioned on the first page (in the Eng\u00adlish ver\u00adsion) isn\u2019t includ\u00aded in the list of peo\u00adple say\u00ading good\u00adnight. All of this adds a lay\u00ader of allur\u00ading mys\u00adtery to the pic\u00adture book. I won\u00adder if any\u00adone still remem\u00adbers how lone\u00adly such a sim\u00adple and uncon\u00adven\u00adtion\u00adal mas\u00adter\u00adpiece must have been dur\u00ading Mar\u00adgaret\u2019s life\u00adtime.<\/span>

\nThe book sold until1960<\/span>It was not until the 1960s that the num\u00adber of pic\u00adture books increased, and by the mid-1960s it had become a pop\u00adu\u00adlar pic\u00adture book. Appar\u00adent\u00adly, the read\u00aders who had grown up were look\u00ading for this book again, hop\u00ading to relive their child\u00adhood dreams with their chil\u00addren. Inspired by this, Ursu\u00adla invit\u00aded Clement to redraw The Run\u00adaway Bun\u00adny.1972<\/span>A new edi\u00adtion (the ver\u00adsion we read today) was pub\u00adlished in 1996 to echo the suc\u00adcess of Good\u00adnight Moon. Lat\u00ader, the book was final\u00adly includ\u00aded in the New York Pub\u00adlic Library\u2019s rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded pic\u00adture book cat\u00ada\u00adlog. After gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions of read\u00aders snow\u00adballed in pop\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty, the book became a hit in1990<\/span>At the begin\u00adning of the year, the cumu\u00adla\u00adtive sales vol\u00adume exceed\u00aded400<\/span>Wan, enter21<\/span>A cen\u00adtu\u00adry lat\u00ader, it exceed\u00aded2000<\/span>10,000. Eric\u00b7<\/span>Carl once said with emo\u00adtion: \u201cThis is what Mar\u00adgaret and I have in com\u00admon: it was the chil\u00addren who chose us, not the experts, not the librar\u00adi\u00adans, not the teach\u00aders, not the grand\u00admoth\u00aders. This is not just my opin\u00adion, I know it is like this.\u201d<\/span><\/span>

\nClement and Per\u00adcy ben\u00ade\u00adfit\u00aded great\u00adly from this book. Although they had writ\u00adten many chil\u00addren\u2019s books, most read\u00aders and researchers remem\u00adbered Clement because of this book. Many peo\u00adple even mis\u00adtak\u00aden\u00adly believed that the text was writ\u00adten by his wife. When\u00adev\u00ader this hap\u00adpened, Per\u00adcy would hap\u00adpi\u00adly and proud\u00adly tell them: This book was writ\u00adten by our love\u00adly and cre\u00adative friend Mar\u00adgaret. It was also because of the increas\u00ading roy\u00adal\u00adties brought by this book that they retired at a rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly young age. Their son Thatch\u00ader\u00b7<\/span>Heard also final\u00adly inher\u00adit\u00aded his father\u2019s career and became an artist who cre\u00adat\u00aded pic\u00adture books. He said that his father was very hap\u00adpy about the best-sell\u00ading of \u201cGood\u00adnight Moon\u201d and would often write the sales fig\u00adures on small pieces of paper and show them to him.\n<\/span><\/p>

\nBelow are pho\u00adtos of Clement Hurd from the 1940s, used as accom\u00adpa\u00adny\u00ading pho\u00adtographs for his works. One is the orig\u00adi\u00adnal, and the oth\u00ader is a pho\u00adto offi\u00adcial\u00adly altered by the pub\u00adlish\u00ader. Can you tell the dif\u00adfer\u00adence? What\u2019s the dif\u00adfer\u00adence between the two? There\u2019s an inter\u00adest\u00ading sto\u00adry behind this.<\/span><\/p>\n
