Set in Calabria, in southern Italy, the books tell the stories of Strega Nona or “Grandma Witch”. She is known throughout her home village for her numerous, magical remedies. Strega Nona is getting old, so she hires Big Anthony as her assistant to do the household chores. Let the adventures begin!
Children are invited to join the live story time in their PJs and bring their favourite stuffed animal to watch the story of Strega Nona.
