This is a blog

about making the book The Important Thing About Margaret Wise Brown written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Sarah Jacoby.

This blog was made by Sarah so its mostly images that I, Sarah, either made or found along the way. I learned a lot about Margaret and her world as I researched imagery for this book. Still, I would like to tell you that I am no expert. As Mac might say, “it is hard to fit someone’s life into a blog”. 

You should know where these images come from. The black and white historical lookin’ ones are either from the New York Public Library archives or the Hollins University archives. I will tag them so that you can see. 

Otherwise, I took these photos in person or made them with my own ten fingers and brain.

If you would like to buy the book by all means get it from your local indie book seller. And if you'd like a personalized copy, signed by Mac and me, you can order it  here.  Please indicate to whom you'd like the book personalized in the comments. Orders must be placed by May 14.
