Goodnight, La Grange

Goodnight La Grange is a wonderful children's book that beautifully captures the charm & character of our great town. The colorful illustrations & engaging rhymes make it such a fun read for young children. It’s a great way to introduce kids to all the fun & historic spots in town, fostering pride & curiosity about their community. Both kids & parents will enjoy. Actually, my friends who grew up in La Grange & live elsewhere are buying the book to share their hometown with their children.

Good Night, La Grange is a treasure! The rhymes are gentle, the illustrations delightful, and it’s fun to see familiar spots like the Pet Parade, La Grange Theater, and Tate’s Ice Cream. A perfect bedtime story and keepsake for local families—or a thoughtful gift for little ones.

It’s unusual to find a children’s book so lovingly devoted to a specific suburb — and that specificity is what gives it its heart. If your child ever rides the train into town, or stops by the farmers market, they’ll see their world mirrored in its pages.

TDT’s latest tucks one of Chicago’s most charming suburbs into bed with rhymes and illustrations that kids will love (and adults will secretly enjoy too). From the Pet Parade to Sedgwick Park, this book feels like a nighttime stroll through the heart of town. It’s the perfect gift for little dreamers—whether they live in La Grange, visit often, or just like the idea of saying goodnight to trains, zoos, ice cream, and summer festivals. Far more fun to read at bedtime than counting sheep!
