ReviewsWhen I graduated from high school, I received an incredible gift from my mom. It was Goodnight Dorm Room --a playful spin on the children's classic for those heading off to college. The book, written by Sam Kaplan and Keith Riegert and illustrated by Emily Fromm, offers light-hearted advice for incoming freshmen. Most people reading Goodnight Dorm Room would laugh or smile as they read rhyming verses full of jokes, life advice, and everything in between. Instead, I bawled my eyes out. I still can't quite figure out why this 64-page picture book hit me so hard. Goodnight Dorm Room didn't say anything particularly troublesome. It didn't tell me that college would be a frightening, hopeless venture or something worth dreading. It wound up only painting a picture of college that was full of possibilities, opportunities, and change, and that is what scared me.
