GOODNIGHT POTHOLE

Hold on to your car’s alignment!  In this parody of the classic children’s book, Goodnight Moon, sleepy readers will dream of orange cones and chicken bones, blown out tires and downed wires, and so many more amusing rhymes in this funny-but-true take on eroding roads.

“One can never be too young to learn how to recognize, categorize, and find ways to enjoy the inevitable potholes, sinkholes, and general neglect one many encounter when growing up in a city.  Goodnight Pothole teaches young readers to do just that!”

-Walker Debris, PE, PLS, ENV-SP President of the National Pothole Foundation

Author and illustrator Shannon Kelley Atwater was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She came to New Orleans in 2005 to attend Loyola University, where she received a degree in visual arts. As has been the case for many other artists before her, the city wrapped her up in its magic. She met her husband, they planted roots, and they have been here since. After college, she sold her art on the fences of Jackson Square and eventually opened a gallery space in the French Quarter, The Green Eyed Gator. Three years later, family life became her main focus along with her own art. Shannon stays busy raising her three spirited children and taking on various commissioned projects. She is also the author and illustrator of Alligators Don’t Like Flowers, a children’s book published by Pelican that shows how our differences make us special.
