from cyderry

This is the adorable tale of how Nona was born and became a Strega (witch) What charms about the stories are the village (Calabria - where my Nona came from) and the fact that her Grandmother was Concetta - I had an Aunt Concetta. My heart warms with these stories.

A girl named Nona learns the art of magic from her grandmother. This book is a great insight into the author/illustrator's relationship with his own grandmother, with whom he was very close.
