CHAPEL HILL – Good Night Carolina is going mobile.

Authors and creators Missy Julian-Fox and Marie Myers Lloyd, along with illustrator Elaine O’Neil created a book for all ages about Chapel Hill called Good Night Carolina based loosely on the book Good Night Moon. Now, there’s a companion map and mobile app to take you through the different parts of town referenced in the book created in part by the Chapel Hill Orange County Visitors Bureau.

Tuesday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., join the creators and fans of the book for a launch party at the Carolina Inn as the Visitors Bureau kicks off this new tourism initiative.
