Little Pezzettino is so small he is convinced he must be a piece of somebody else. A wise man helps him discover the truth.

My 2-year-old is on my lap as I write this cuddling her new Pezzettino book. Some kids cuddle stuffed animals - Keetah loves books, and this was an instant hit.

Little Piece! Sharing this story in art classes always inspires... I like everything about this book. I have taken it out of the library four times in the last year.
