My nonna loves golden sunrises, sharing biscotti, and making passata with the whole family. But most of all, my nonna loves me!

CELEBRATES TRADITIONS: While the loveable characters embrace their Italian heritage, My nonna Loves encourages readers of all backgrounds to celebrate their own families’ traditions.

FAMILY TIES: My sister, Claudia Frittitta (Illustrator), and I created this book as an ode to grandmothers everywhere—inspired by our very own beautiful Nonna!

CELEBRATES THE BEAUTY IN SMALL THINGS: From collecting freshly laid eggs to gazing at sunflowers, children and grandparents alike will love the story’s prompts to talk about their favourite everyday moments. 

MEANINGFUL GIFT: An emphasis on connection and enjoying everyday moments makes this an affirming read and an excellent year-round gift for anyone wanting a book that celebrates grandparents.
