Goodnight Moon is a celebration of familiar nighttime rituals, while The Runaway Bunny’s pretend tale of leaving home evokes reassuring responses from his loving mum. Both feature endearing rabbit characters, and the soothing rhythms of bunny banter and dream-like imagery never fail to infuse young readers with a reassuring sense of security. Mermaid’s staged adaptation brings a new sense of appreciation to stories that have delighted several generations.

“As the little bunny in the blue-and-white jammies ritually says goodnight to the peaceful room, the visuals become dreamlike, poetically evoking a sleepy child’s small universe. It’s breathtaking.” -Alison Mayes, Winnipeg Free Press
