Rey sketched from his front window; pass the school where Goodnight Moon<\/em> author Margaret Wise Brown launched her career and the nearby Wonderland cottage that became her writing studio; and inspect the architectural \u201cghost\u201d where modern American children\u2019s book publishing was born.<\/p>\n
