Well, I guess she told me…

“[Madonna] said she realised there was an opportunity [to write children’s books] when reading stories to her first child, daughter Lourdes, adding: ‘Now I’m starting to read to my son, but I couldn’t believe how vapid and vacant and empty all the stories were.

“‘There were like no lessons, just all about princesses and like the beautiful prince arrives and he takes her for his wife and nothing happens, no efforts are made. Nobody asks her what her opinion is, or I didn’t see anybody struggling for things. There’s like no books about anything.'”

…like.

(And you know what? At least she’s reading to them. Mea culpa.)
