| |  | | Massimo's Meatballs
The tree lined streets of, Brooklyn are the backdrop for this imaginative picture book about a young boy who loves the smell of Sunday.
Massimo’s Meatballs is a fun story about a young boy and his Sunday ritual of eating meatballs. The lighthearted events unfold as Massimo takes the task on himself! He recalls the recipe from memory- improvises when necessary and uses the help of his beloved dog and next-door neighbor Carmine.
Just like any home cook or professional chef - Massimo made do when he didn’t have some of the ingredients or tools to create his masterpiece. His innovation and improvisation was exceptional. The story ends the way any Italian/American meal does- with too much food for one person to eat and the chance to share with your friends.
The story is a great metaphor for young people to learn about the comfort of traditional home cooked meals, how important it is to have friends and neighbors to rely on and that anything is possible when you put your mind to it.
Massimo’s Meatballs will delight children, as well as some adults, especially those who love to cook! The story’s repetitive format, vibrant illustrations and humor will appeal to young audiences and the bonus recipe for meatballs will appeal to their parents!

When Franny reappears as a beautiful monarch butterfly she motivates her feeble friend with a single phrase. Once a butterfly, Nellie realizes that change is often better than expected.
