years after she graduated, she began her writing career at the age of 27. She published her
first book soon after called When the Wind Blew. One of her favorite books was

hare, seven fish, and a wild robin who came back every spring.
Margaret was very close to her niece. Her niece loved reading Goodnight Moon.
Before she published a book she would go into her niece’ classroom and read it to the
class.
The books that Margaret wrote were goodnight stories and some also had a rhyme
to it. She liked to put a hard word into a story or poem because she thought this made
children think harder when they were reading. Margaret dreamed most of her stories and
then she woke up and wrote them down.
