The English Roses

The English Roses is a 2003 children's picture book written by American recording artist and entertainer Madonna and illustrated by Jeffrey Fulvimari, which later became a series of children's books by both artists. The books are about the life of five schoolgirls in London and their problems. The English Roses is about the lives of four girls — Charlotte, Amy, Grace and Nicole — who become jealous of a girl called Binah. They believe that her life is perfect, and are jealous of her for it, but Binah is lonely. Binah's mother died when she was young and she lives with her father... in a small house where she cooks and cleans for a living. Binah has no friends but the English Roses think she must be popular, rich and spoiled but she really isn't like that. This is Madonna's first children's book. The picture book was published by Callaway Editions on 15 September 2003 simultaneously in more than 100 countries and in 30 languages. In 2006, Madonna went on to write more about the English Roses. The English Roses: Too Good to be True is another picture book but illustrated this time by Stacey Peterson instead of Jeffrey Fulvimari .
