        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goodnight, society as we knew it.</p><p>Margaret Wise Brown&#8217;s 1947 children&#8217;s book &#8220;Goodnight Moon&#8221; has been reimagined for the time of the coronavirus. &#8220;Good Morning Zoom,&#8221; a parody version of the book by investment banker Lindsay Rechler and illustrator June Park, <strong>will be published</strong> by Penguin Random House in October.</p><p>&#8220;It seemed fitting because &#8216;Goodnight Moon&#8217; takes place exclusively in one room or home, and that is how I felt about quarantine,&#8221; Rechler, who&#8217;s been quarantining with a 2- and a 4-year-old in a Manhattan apartment since March, told Jewish parenting site <strong>Kveller</strong>. &#8220;Zoom was a nice play on words and fitting, given our new reality and this concept of replacing hugs with technology.&#8221;</p><p>In addition to bringing adults a smile with her clever alternative to the original, Rechler believes the book will bring solace to young readers. &#8220;I think children will find comfort because the book details what they are actually going through each and every day,&#8221; she said, adding that the book is intended to serve as a source of simultaneous familiarity and a prompt for questions on recent, drastic changes to little ones&#8217; daily lives. &#8220;Most importantly, for both kids and parents, I want the book to provide hope.&#8221;</p><p>Book profits will be donated to coronavirus relief charities.</p><p>Rechler is not the first mom to be inspired by COVID-19 to reboot children&#8217;s literature for the present moment. During lockdown, Manhattan mother Stefanie Trilling <strong>topically redesigned</strong> kids&#8217; book covers, including &#8220;Green Eggs and Wash Your Hands&#8221; and &#8220;The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Time Home.&#8221;</p><p>And &#8220;Good Morning Zoom&#8221; is not the first alternative take on the classic read — &#8220;Moon&#8221; has been rewritten as &#8220;<strong>Goodnight Dune</strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>Goodnight iPad</strong>&#8221; over the years.</p><p>Children&#8217;s author Wise Brown was beloved for the timeless tale, which has sold more than 14 million copies. She died in 1952 and is remembered as a <strong>bisexual rebel</strong> who didn&#8217;t like kids. Her work has been <strong>posthumously published</strong> as recently as 2017.</p>]]></content:encoded>
