Step Into a Magical New York City

- Brooklyn Bridge: Racing against the wind to catch a sunset.

- The Metropolitan Museum: Sneaking into a medieval armor exhibit (shhh!).

Each page bursts with vibrant, hand-painted illustrations that make the city feel alive—perfect for bedtime stories or classroom read-alouds.
