Written and Illustrated by Tomie dePaola
This is a charming story about an Italian grandmother who enjoys to cook for those she loves and the many winter holidays celebrated in Italy. It’s a great way to introduce children to traditions in other parts of the world. I enjoyed the humor in the story.
