Children’s book author Mallory Kasdan has a new book out that Vogue is calling “a sort of Eloise for the hipster generation.”
Ella, which came out last week from Viking Children’s Books is about a six-year-old who lives at the Local Hotel in Brooklyn, which bears a close resemblance to the Wyeth Hotel. The book features illustrations by Marcos Chin.
Here is more about Ella from Kasdan’s website:
She has a nanny called Manny. He has tattoos for sleeves and he might go in with some guys to buy a grilled cheese truck. Sometimes Ella weaves purses out of Ziploc bags and reclaimed twine. (She is artsy of course.) She has a dog named Stacie and a fish named Rasta and a scooter which is important for getting everywhere she needs to be.
