Goodnight, Chicago's North Shore
HARDCOVER BOOK // 35 Pages // 8" x 10"
A Cozy North Shore Chicago Bedtime Journey Through Evanston, Highland Park, Glencoe, Winnetka, and the Towns You Love
Say goodnight to the places that make the North Shore feel like home. Goodnight, Chicago's North Shore is a warm, rhyming children's bedtime book that gently tucks in the landmarks, neighborhoods, and beloved spots stretching along Lake Michigan's most storied stretch of Illinois.
From the soaring dome of the Bahá'í House of Worship in Wilmette to the blooming paths of the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, from the sandy shores of Rosewood Beach in Highland Park to the iconic house that starred in a certain holiday classic in Winnetka — every page is a little love letter to a place your family knows by heart.
Written in soothing, read-aloud rhyme with bright, joyful illustrations, this book is made for the bedtime moment when little eyes are growing heavy and the world outside feels wonderfully close. Kids will delight in spotting familiar places, and parents will find themselves lingering over pages that feel like home.
Bonus: The book includes an illustrated map of Chicago's North Shore, showing the location of every featured landmark — a fun geography conversation starter for curious kids.
