    Today I'm chatting with Allison Pataki and Marya Myers published Nelly Takes New York, the first children's book in a new series. The writing duo grew up together and were inspired by their own New York memories. Their book is about Nelly, a little girl who, along with her mischievous pal, the beagle named Bagel, wakes up one morning in her New York City home and begins one very adventurous day full of false starts that ultimately leads her to learn about community - the people, landmarks, museums, parks, sites, and sounds of her city.
