Some of life's most beautiful lessons are learned in a grandmother's kitchen, where love is measured in handfuls of flour and wisdom is stirred into every pot of sauce. Growing up with my Nonna meant being wrapped in the warmth of Italian traditions-Sunday lunches that lasted for hours, stories told between sips of espresso, and the unspoken love found in a simple plate of pasta.

This book is a celebration of those moments, a tribute to the magic of a grandmother's love, and a journey into the heart of family, culture, and connection. May every page bring you the comfort of Nonna's embrace and the joy of traditions that live on through generations.

Frank Moyo is a teacher, singer-songwriter, and now, a children's book author based in Toronto, Ontario. With a background in Italian and Archaeology from the University of Toronto, Frank pursued a career in education, becoming an elementary school teacher dedicated to inspiring young minds.

Growing up surrounded by all four of his grandparents-who immigrated from Cosenza, Calabria-Frank was immersed in the richness of Italian culture from an early age. Whether it was through the aroma of homemade meals, the melodies of traditional folk songs, or the stories passed down through generations, his heritage became a cornerstone of his identity.

Now, as a music teacher, Frank shares his love for Italian culture through song, blending language, history, and music to create an engaging and meaningful experience for his students. His passion for storytelling extends beyond the classroom, leading him to publish his first children's book-a heartfelt tribute to family, tradition, and the enduring bond between grandparents and grandchildren.

Through his work as both an educator and artist, Frank continues to celebrate the beauty of culture, connection, and the timeless stories that shape us all.
