Woohoo! Strega Nona, loved by generations of children’s book readers, was introduced to a yet another generation of readers recently at Mrs. Nelson's Toy & Book Shop. Tomie dePaola was on hand to talk with fans old and new about his new book Brava, Strega Nona, in which Strega shares her words of wisdom for leading a magical life in an all-new interactive way. With doors to open, tab
s to pull and a host of other fun features, kids are treated to six spreads of pop-up magnificence. Tomie has been published for 40 years and has written and/or illustrated over 200 books. Pictured: Tomie with Judy Nelson and staff. (Click on pic to enlarge.)
