Reach for this book when your child expresses curiosity about their family heritage or asks what life was like for their grandparents. It is a perfect choice for children who feel a bit disconnected from their roots or for those moving to a new place who need to understand the concept of 'belonging' to a community. This memoir captures the author's childhood visits to her father's village in Sardinia, Italy, painting a world where children roam free among vast extended families and ancient traditions. Through detailed watercolors and gentle prose, the book explores themes of interconnectedness and the magic of a slower pace of life. It is ideal for children ages 5 to 10, serving as a beautiful bridge between the past and present, and encouraging families to share their own ancestral stories.
