Coffee with Nonna is a darling little book to read aloud with family members of almost any age. It tugs at your heart strings almost immediately... It evokes tears of joy and sadness while reading it because it brings back memories of your own special grandparent, whether she was Italian or any other ethnic group. We read aloud to eachother and cried because each of us had had similar experiences with our own grandmothers. The religious aspects of the book were used to give Vincente a moral compass. This book is a worthwhile read for everyone, especially for those who didn't have a grandmother. If nothing else, it makes you wish you had a grandmother like Nonna.
This is a warm wonderful story of a young boy growing up during WWII, and being raised by his Grandmother while his father is in the war and his mother is working. His Grandmother is truly remarkable and a beautiful example for us all. Delightful!!!!
