Goodnight Dune
Written & Illustrated by Julia Yu

In a great green room, tucked away in bed, a young bunny gazes upon the two remaining moons of Arrakis…

This book is inspired by Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction novel Dune. Many of the visual motifs come from the 1984 David Lynch movie adaptation of Dune, and drawn in the style of Margaret Wise Brown / Clement Hurd's classic children's book Goodnight Moon. Originally created in 2011, (finally) updated in 2021.

In the great no room
There was a floating baron
And a view of two moons
And a picture of —

Shai-Hulud bursting out of the dune

And there were three Fedaykin recruits fighting in stillsuits

And two imperial Sardaukar
And a pair of Gom Jabbar

And a little toy keep
And a young Muad'Dib

And two imperial Sardaukar
And a pair of Gom Jabbar

And a little toy keep
And a young Muad'Dib

And maker hooks and a crysknife and a bowl full of Water of Life

And a Bene Gesserit witch whispering "they tried and died"

Goodnight no-room

Goodnight no-room

Goodnight two moons

Goodnight Shai-Hulud bursting out of the dune

Goodnight glowglobe
And the floating baron

Goodnight recruits
Goodnight stillsuits

Goodnight glowglobe
And the floating baron

Goodnight recruits
Goodnight stillsuits

Goodnight Sardaukar

And goodnight Gom Jabbar

Goodnight Suk doctor

And goodnight ornithopter

Goodnight Suk doctor
And goodnight ornithopter

Goodnight little keep

And goodnight Muad'Dib

Goodnight maker hooks
And goodnight crysknife

Goodnight maker hooks
And goodnight crysknife

Goodnight Golden Path

Goodnight Water of Life

And goodnight to the bene-gesserit witch whispering "they tried and died"

And goodnight to the bene-gesserit
witch whispering "they tried and died"

Goodnight Arrakis
