Strega Nona

So I will start off my book blog by sharing one of my favorite childhood books Strega Nona.

Strega Nona by Tomie de Paola

Strega Nona—”Grandma Witch”—is the source for potions, cures, magic, and comfort in her Calabrian town. Her magical ever-full pasta pot is especially intriguing to hungry Big Anthony. Big Anthony is supposed to look after her house and tend her garden, but one day, when she goes over the mountain to visit Strega Amelia, he recites the magic verse over the pasta pot, with disastrous results.

This book has always been my favorite book since I can remember, I just recently got this book so I can read it to my kids, love this book so much!
