My Nonna Loves
A joyful picture book about what makes grandmothers special, what they love, and why we love them.
This sweet and uplifting ode to grandmothers celebrates everything they love … especially their grandchildren!
My nonna loves gossiping on the phone, sharing biscotti, and making passata with the whole family. But most of all, my nonna loves me!
Perfect for grandparents to read aloud to their grandchildren, this heartwarming picture book is an ideal keepsake for grandmothers everywhere. With lovingly drawn illustrations and gently humorous text, the book highlights how grandmothers relish every waking moment, cook with their souls, and cherish their family above all else. A story of joy, love and togetherness, My Nonna Loves will be treasured by everyone in the family!
CELEBRATES TRADITIONS: While the loveable characters embrace their Italian heritage, My Nonna Loves encourages readers of all backgrounds to celebrate their own families' special traditions.
FAMILY TIES: The book was created by talented siblings Adelle and Claudia Frittitta as an ode to grandmas everywhere – and it was inspired by their own beloved nonna!
CELEBRATES THE BEAUTY IN SMALL THINGS: From collecting freshly laid chicken 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 to celebrate their grandparent.

- Parents looking for a Mother's Day, Christmas or birthday gift from their children for their granny, nonna, abuela or oma.
