Carol! OMG, this looks amazing!!! Carolina has been to the Leaning Tower. We're going to swing by the NYSL tomorrow to pick up your book. We'll report back :) xoxo
Ooooh! I loved the The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. I had the opposite experience of Carolina. I knew nothing of New York, growing up as a Navy brat and travelling around to station to station. The Mixed Up Files was my first knowledge of NYC and was amazed by the expansiveness of the museum of the book. When I moved to NYC after college, one of my first visits was to the Met. The actual museum exceeded my expectations -- I fell in love with The Met and with museums in general.
Another favorite from my childhood is Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. You and Carolina should give it a try
Lovely!! And she might be almost ready to visit Italy 🇮🇹 with The Diary of Melanie Martin, which you can borrow from the NYSL.

Molte parole italiane that she will recognize too. Like... gelato!
