K-3
In simple English and Italian prose, a little girl describes life in her Tuscan town and the long, rich history of her favorite food. Intensely colored expressionistic illustrations contrast modern and historic scenes. The generous back matter (seemingly adult-aimed) includes an author's note, historical information, pronunciation guide, and a recipe for Pizza Margherita (named for an Italian queen).

Born around the time of the Civil War to German Jewish immigrants, the Cone sisters (never married) inherited money from their father's business. Younger Etta discovers a passion for art; she begins collecting and teaches Claribel what she has learned. The book is illustrated with reproductions and original pictures that are strong enough to work side-by-side with those of Picasso and Matisse. Bib.
