My daughter read this in one sitting and immediately asked if we could plan a trip to Paris ourselves. I love that Phoebe’s experience feels real—her disappointment about the food is so relatable, and it teaches kids to keep an open mind. The descriptions of the pastries had us both craving croissan

The story captures Phoebe’s honest surprise when Paris doesn’t match her postcard expectations, which made the food discoveries feel more real. My daughter kept asking to read just one more chapter every night.

The story captures Phoebe’s letdown when Paris isn’t the fairy tale she pictured, which felt refreshingly real for a kids’ book. My daughter loved spotting the small cultural details and didn’t want me to stop reading.
