This week our books are both set in the city of lights! Our chapter book is the 1939 classic Madeline, written and illustrated by Ludwig Bemelmans.  This one's from the vault of Nina's childhood, and we create our own conspiracy theory about it live on the show. It's a beautiful, iconic picture book, a time capsule of Paris between the wars, and a great book to read if you, too, have had to have your appendix removed.Our chapter book is Secrets of the Snakestone, by Piu DasGupta. Set in the Belle Epoque, we follow Zelie and Jules as they frantically scramble through Paris' sewers and over its rooftops. It's a rough and tumble adventure and a beginner mystery. There's secret societies, and family heirlooms, and weird class dynamics and just a sprinkle of magic in among the lush historical detail.If you'd like to support us and get access to bonus content, you can join our patreon here.Another way to support us is to shop our picks on our bookshop hereWhat A Wonderful Day is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License by Shane Ivers of silvermansound.com
