Mr. Peabody's Apples
Background and conception.
In 2003, American singer Madonna signed a contract with Callaway Arts & Entertainment and released her first children's book as an author, "The English Roses", which was translated into 42 different languages over 100 countries. The book debuted at number one on "The New York Times" Best Seller list, spending a total of 18 weeks there. Following the success of "The English Roses", Madonna worked on her second book, "Mr. Peabody's Apples". In the acknowledgement section, Madonna dedicated the book to "teachers everywhere", while including a moral about the how to choose one's words carefully and the effects of it. She explained that "Mr. Peabody's Apples" was inspired by a 300 year-old story by rabbi Baal Shem Tov that she heard from her Kabbalah teacher, and wanted to share the "essence" of it in her second release. 
 Callaway and Madonna wanted the story to be set in the 1940s, during a day in the life of a small town told in a cinematic style. An article in "The Times" described it as evoking "the highly moral world of Jimmy Stewart and "It's a Wonderful Life", of apple pie, picket fences, Little League baseball, milkshakes and—of course—of right and wrong". The pictures were illustrated by Loren Long whose main inspiration was American regionalist artists and conventional realism.
