Good Night, Door County

It is nighttime in Door County, Wisconsin.

The crickets and frogs begin their nightly serenade, and the great horned owl soon joins in. Those sounds signal that it is bedtime for Charlie and his little sister, Ellie. They had a fun time in Door County, but when a new day dawns, it will be time to go home. Charlie cannot sleep until he says good night to all the wonderful places he has seen. But, can he stay awake long enough to do it? Each and every locale is worthy of a heartfelt goodbye that also says, “until we meet again.”

This delightful book is a love letter to the many spectacular sights in Door County. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning Wisconsin artist, Aaron Boyd, the book is a celebration of Door County's unique history and unparalleled beauty.

He says, "The impact of that initial trip must have made a big impression on me because I still feel it today."Chuck is passionate about Door County and dedicated to preserving its unique environment and laid back character. He belongs to several groups devoted to environmental preservation there. One of his favorite activities is helping his grandchildren discover wonderful things about Door County. While he claims to know a lot about it, he admits, "I'm not a true Door County expert but maybe a gifted amateur with a lifetime of experiences there."
