A six-year-old girl in New Jersey wrote and illustrated a children's book about a child who drinks wine, inspired by her mother's wine consumption habits. The book, titled 'The Kid Who Drank Wine,' has gone viral after the mother shared it online.
Parents know the drill: watch your language, hide your phone, don’t say anything you don’t want repeated at school. Children are always listening. Usually that means an ill-timed curse word or a disturbingly accurate impression of a work call.
In one case, it led to a 6-year-old girl going rogue and writing a fully illustrated book about drinking. Over the holidays, Scout Haskel, a kindergartner in Montclair, New Jersey, handed her family a handmade tale — complete with a cover, drawings and a moral to the story —about a child whose encounter with red wine does not end well. “We were visiting my parents, and every night my mom and I have a glass of wine and gossip,” Bethany Hall, Scout’s mother, tells . “She’d been off on her own with a bunch of cousins, running around, asking for spelling help here and there. Then she just presented it to us. We were on the floor laughing.”, posting a video of herself sitting in a chair and reading Scout’s book, titled “The Kid Who Drank Wine,” aloud in a librarian-at-story-hour style. “Her name was Scout,” Hall begins. “Her mom said no drinking wine and she didn’t listen. They went to a birthday party and no kids are allowed to drink wine but she did. Out to dinner she drunk wine.”“And she got DRUNK,” Hall continues, before pausing. “I don’t feel good, mommy.” The comments quickly took on a life of their own. Viewers praised the book’s structure as much as its subject matter, with one noting, “It had a beginning, middle and end. The theme stayed present. I think she’d sell well.” Others were quicker to jump ahead in Scout’s career. “I smell a Pulitzer,” one commenter wrote. Several demanded a sequel.Broadway
