Strega Nona

✨Strega Nona:
The Witch with the Magic Pasta Pot ✨

If you’ve ever heard me tell the story of a little Italian village, a magical pasta pot, and a well-meaning but foolish assistant… then you’ve met Strega Nona!

I tell the most well-known of her tales, but here’s a secret: there are many more stories about her—hundreds, in fact! Luckily, you don’t have to wait for me to share them.

🎨 Tomie dePaola, the beloved author and illustrator, turned these classic stories into a gorgeous series of children’s books you can find at just about any library. In fact, if you walk into a library and say “I heard a story about a witch and pasta that takes over the town,” I’d be shocked if the children’s librarian didn’t smile and hand you Strega Nona right away.

📚 Curious to read more of her magical misadventures or build your own collection? I’ve linked a few below. These are affiliate links, so just a heads-up:
