Merry Christmas, Strega Nona -- Tomie dePaola, Hardcover

In this holiday follow-up to Tomie dePaola's Caldecott Honor-winning Strega Nona, our favorite Grandma-Witch is back and bringing her magic to Christmas with a town feast--can she count on Big Anthony as her only helper?

It's Christmas time in Calabria and with Strega Nona's annual feast around the corner, she has no time for her usual magical tasks. Christmas has a magic of its own, and no one knows magic like Strega Nona does, especially Big Anthony. But with the clock ticking on her preparations, will Big Anthony finally be able to prove that he can be counted on with some magic of his own?

With warm illustrations in Tomie's classic folk-art style, this refreshed addition to the Strega Nona series is a must-have for fans of all ages.
