Review Detail

Our Italian Christmas Eve was such a cute and unique look at an Italian-American families Christmas Eve dinner traditions. The different foods eaten, and how to save the day when a relative inadvertently forgets to bring dessert!
I like that it was a big extended family that got together for the holiday. My children could connect with the story this way, as we always get together with a good portion of our extended family.

The illustrations are cute and silly. I love the festiveness of them all.

The author includes a note about The Feast of the Seven Fishes, its potential origins and meaning. This opened up conversations about different traditions and beliefs with my children.
They also included a recipe for Mom's Cheesecake that my children are super excited to bake!
