Madeline

Madeline is a strong choice for readers looking for school picture books shaped by school, community. Ludwig Bemelmans builds the story around in an old Paris house covered in vines, an unforgettable small girl turns routine, bravery, and style into storybook legend. For families, educators, and librarians building lists of DEI picture books, BIPOC picture books, and strong read-alouds, this title brings real value for conversations about school, community.
