Andiamo, Weasel!

"Andiamo, Weasel!" is a charming and humorous early chapter book or longer picture book that follows a little crow's journey of self-discovery. After a conniving weasel tricks her and steals her corn, the crow feels "piccola" and helpless. She initially seeks protection from a fearsome wolf, only to realize that her own courage and "grande spirit" are enough to face challenges. The book gently explores themes of self-esteem, resilience, and independence, all set against a vibrant Tuscan backdrop with a delightful sprinkling of Italian words. It's perfect for children aged 4-11, offering a relatable narrative about finding inner strength.

A weaselly weasel, a sprinkling of Italian, and a gentle message about self-esteem-all in one gorgeous, funny picture book! Mamma mia! Perhaps trusting a weasel was not such a good idea. First he weaseled his way out of helping to sow and tend the corn, and now he's stolen the entire harvest! What's a little crow to do? She's too piccola to defend herself! So she finds a wolf-a big, snarling one-to help her. But is her new fierce friend really necessary? This piccola crow may find out that her grande spirit is all she needs. . . . Here is a playful romp through the Tuscan countryside-complete with a sprinkling of Italian and an important message about friendship and self-esteem.
