Madeline is not just a book; it’s an attitude. It teaches children that being small doesn’t mean being weak, that a scar is a badge of honor, and that the best gift you can give a friend is a homemade dollhouse and a get-well-soon card.
Whether you are 4 or 40, Madeline’s defiant spirit is impossible to resist. As the last line of the book asks, "And that’s all there is—isn’t it something to cry?" No, Miss Clavel. It’s something to celebrate. Madeline
