About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to turn a routine stroll into a shared adventure of discovery and connection. It is perfect for those quiet mornings when you want to slow down and help your toddler notice the tiny, magical details of the world around them while celebrating family bonds. The story follows a young child and their grandmother, Nonna, as they explore a local park. Together, they encounter a squirrel, a grasshopper, and a pigeon, using simple Italian greetings like Ciao to welcome each new friend. It is a gentle introduction to a second language and a beautiful model of how to foster curiosity and gratitude in early childhood. This board book is ideally suited for babies and toddlers who are just beginning to name the animals and objects in their own neighborhoods.
