"Madonna has explained that she was driven to write these stories because when she came to read to her son Rocco, she found that children's books were all about princes and princesses and happy endings, and never about anybody "struggling for things". She must have got them from an antique shop. Children's literature today, even for the very young, majors on broken families, inner-city deprivation, handicap, and bereavement, as every parent knows."
