But Granny Torrelli seems to know just how to make things right again with her interesting stories and family recipes.

It’s easier to remember what’s important about love, life, and friendship while Granny Torrelli makes soup. Celebrate a special connection to a parent or grandparent by sharing this empathetic, funny book. “A tasty treat.” – ALA Booklist (starred review) “This is a meal that should not be missed.” – School Library Journal (starred review) An ALA Notable Children’s Book and ALA Booklist Editors’ Choice
