Not to brag....but I broke my arm TWICE in elementary school.

And I really want to go to that bar in NYC!

Well now I AM jealous. The glory! x2!!

And yes you need to go! It’s probably one of my favorite places of all, anywhere. I try very hard to incorporate a cocktail hour there into almost every trip to New York now.

You had me laughing out loud while reading this—I would have acted exactly the same in Bemelman’s Bar. I mean, it’s Madeline! And I agree, that last line is 👌🏻

Ha! Thanks so much, Kristin! So glad I’m not alone in my Madeline fan-girl era. And yes that last line is just perfection.

What a great read, Kelsey! I'm a big fan of Madeline, too. Thank you for the kind words about Moonbow. :)

Thank you! And of course! As someone who is never ever sick of reading and talking about children’s literature (I have a hunch you can relate), your newsletter is a real treat :)
