I was very excited to see a new book about the beloved, Madeline. I grew up reading about Madeline, and now my daughter gets to experience this character who lives amongst little girls and Miss Clavel. I can still remember the first time I read about Madeline and her ailing appendix.
“The idea for sending Madeline to the White House was my grandfather’s and grew out of his friendship with Jacqueline Kennedy. In a series of letters from late 1961 and early 1962, my grandfather sounded out the First Lady on ideas for the book, which he proposed calling “Madeline visits Caroline,” with text from Mrs. Kennedy herself. My grandfather died in 1961, before the book was finished.” – John Bemelmans Marciano, author and illustrator of Madeline at the White House and grandson of Madeline creator Ludwig Bemelmans
