THE ADVENTURES OF CIPOLLINO is a 2026 Batchelder Honor Book (most outstanding children’s translations)!

Gianni Rodari wrote this book in 1950s Italy, and in the US today, his themes of hope, justice, & human dignity are just as relevant as ever: https://t.co/KLbxRRRUbX

THE ADVENTURES OF CIPOLLINO is in the @nytimes!

“Tolstikova’s lush illustrations and the prominent theme of freewheeling underdogs triumphing over a stuffy bureaucracy will carry young readers effortlessly through this anthropomorphic adventure.”
