Goodnight June
Goodnight June
By: Sarah Jio
When you were a child, stories were read to you in all forms. Now a days it's in the form of television and movies. But there was a time where adults used to READ to their children. Either it was to calm the child down, or just for pleasure. The child get to spend that time frame dreaming of knights in shining armor slaying dragons, saving queens. Or living in fairy tales and talking to animals. After the story ends, they either dream into that world, or not. It's just a bunch of stories. They are not real.
So when they grow up to be adults, that's all they think of children's stories....false. Not real, no real honor behind children's books.
Or is there?
June Anderson is a successful professionally and living the dream. Only her dream doesn't quite reach into her personal life but for her she is okay with that. Until she receives a letter stating that someone from her childhood whom she loved very much had passed away. Grieving over the lost of her wonderful Aunt, June realizes she has inherited her Aunt's small bookstore - Bluebird Books - who Aunt Ruby has owned since the 1940s. June is determined to make her dreams come true in New York and doesn't want to get tied down in Seattle with a small bookstore. But for her Aunt, she'll go to Seattle and see what needs to be down.
Little does she realize that this little bookstore has more than children's books on it's shelves.
June starts finding more interesting stories of an Aunt that she thought she knew. One interesting fact that she never knew was that her Aunt Ruby was very good friends with a woman by the name Margaret Wise brown, the author of Goodnight Moon. As June finds more interesting stories between the two women she starts finding out more history of her own life.
But for someone has carried all her baggage around with her for so long, it's kind of hard to unpack and let things go.
How will these children books help June unpack her baggage and let go of the past to receive the present? How will the books help you?
A wonderful tale surrounding the stories of famous children's books and also a tale to help you remember your childhood and what it means to have those memories close to your heart.
