Goodnight Moon: A Fiber Tale is a life-size recreation of the Great Green Room from the beloved children’s book, faithfully made in yarn. It is the only fiber recreation of this story.
The room is instantly recognizable—the green walls, the striped curtains, the mittens and kittens, and all the small details so many people know by heart. Here, everything has been reimagined through yarn, built piece by piece using a wide range of techniques that turn a simple illustration into something you can feel but can’t quite touch—familiar, vivid, and just out of reach, like a childhood memory.
Goodnight Moon has been passed from one generation to the next for decades. It’s often one of the first books people remember being read to them—and later, one they read again to their own children or grandchildren. Goodnight Moon: A Fiber Tale is one more way to share it.
The installation is a touring production. It opened in 2023 at Space to Create in Trinidad, Colorado, where an intended one-month exhibition extended to six months and welcomed more than 10,000 visitors. It traveled to the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder in 2025 and is currently on view at the Schoolhouse at the PACE Center in Parker, Colorado.
