A magical adventure to Italy for curious little travellers - and a beautiful story about the special bond between a little girl and her grandparents.
Hallie is ready for another adventure with her beloved Queenie and Pa
This time, her magical journey takes her to Italy, where she explores the streets of Rome, discovers the magnificent Colosseum, learns about brave gladiators, travels by fast train to Pisa and sees the famous Leaning Tower. Along the way, there is Italian food, gelato, new Italian words and a magical visit to the Trevi Fountain.
But Hallie discovers that adventures aren't always about seeing new places.
When she starts to miss Mummy, Daddy and her baby sister, Hallie wonders if missing home means she isn't brave. Queenie helps her understand that even brave girls miss the people they love.
Hallie Goes to Italy is a beautifully illustrated children's picture book for ages 4-6, combining a magical travel adventure with gentle themes of courage, family, love and curiosity.
It is also a celebration of the special relationship between grandparents and grandchildren - the kind of relationship where stories are shared, adventures are imagined and wonderful memories are made together.

Perfect for parents and grandparents looking for books about Italy for kids, Rome books for children, children's travel books, preschool travel books, books about grandparents and grandchildren, and stories that inspire children to be curious about the world.
Whether it is read at bedtime, enjoyed together before a family holiday, or given as a special gift from a grandparent to a grandchild, Hallie Goes to Italy invites little readers to dream, explore and imagine where their own adventures might take them.
