Whoa so Margaret Wise Brown author of Goodnight Moon died at age 42. In 1952. 

Really sad story, she had a ruptured appendix, developed a blood clot in her leg and died of an embolism when she lifted her leg to show the nurse how much better she was feeling. 

But that’s not my story. She was also a lesbian. Learned that tonight. Learned all of this because my youngest asked about the author. And we covered that she was a lesbian without even using the word. 

Simply said that she loved another woman named Blanche Oelrichs who wrote poems and that they had a nice house together. 

And that’s how we can cover same sex attraction without drag queen storytime for those under age 5. 

The end.
