The first pages

On Sunday morning in Montreal, Gianni climbed onto a stool beside Nonna. Flour was already dusting the big wooden table like snow.

"Today we make orecchiette," Nonna said. "It means little ears. This pasta comes from Puglia, in the south of Italy, where I grew up."

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.

Talk time questions

  • What does orecchiette mean?
  • What did Nonna say about her first try?
  • What is something you are still practising?
