Goodnight Moon: A Month-Long Celebration of Everyone’s Favorite Bedtime Story

“goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere…”

This March, step into the pages of one of the most beloved bedtime stories of all time as we bring Goodnight Moon to life like never before.

At the heart of our celebration is the featured art exhibit, Goodnight Moon: A Fiber Tale—a breathtaking, life-sized fiber art installation that transforms Margaret Wise Brown’s iconic story into a fully immersive experience. Lovingly woven, stitched, and sculpted by artists Emilie Odeile and Ken Chapin, this extraordinary exhibit reimagines the Great Green Room in vivid textile form, inviting guests of all ages to explore the world of Goodnight Moon like never before.

Each handcrafted detail honors the original illustrations by Clement Hurd while adding rich texture and depth that can only be experienced in person. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering the story for the first time, Goodnight Moon: A Fiber Tale offers a magical, tactile journey into the heart of a true children’s classic.

The installation then becomes the enchanting set for the stage production of Goodnight Moon, a charming, family-friendly performance that unfolds under the soft glow of the moon and among the cozy corners of the fiber-crafted room.

Throughout the month, explore an enchanting lineup of events inspired by the spirit of Goodnight Moon:
