Strega Nona

Strega Nona is a children's book written and illustrated by Tomie dePaola. If considered as a folktale, the story is Aarne-Thompson type 565, the Magic Mill. It concerns Strega Nona ("Grandma Witch" in Italian, though it is actually spelled as nonna) and her helper, Big Anthony. Big Anthony causes the title character's magic pasta pot to create so much pasta that it nearly floods and buries a town. The book, which is likely dePaola's best-known work, was published in 1975 and won a Caldecott Honor in 1976. It was one of the "Top 100 Picture Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal. more »

 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

Divided we shift in place
And separately gather
Some of us having things
Or lacking the other
There's no way to see
So I borrow your eyes
There's no way to tell
Without your disguise

Tell me what you are

A heat wave
A red tide
The dry remains
Of life decayed

The beauty we fear
The beauty we are
The beauty we are told to hate!

By the sweat of your brow
You will eat your bread
Until you return to the ground
By the sweat of your brow
You will eat your bread
Until you return to the ground

We pretend to know
So we can sing your song
We pretend it's real
So we're not all alone
God heard me say
"I think I'm too far away"
God heard me say
"I think I'm too far away"

We pretend to know
So we can sing your song
We pretend it's real
So we're not all alone
God heard me say
I think I'm too far away
God heard me say
I think I'm too far away

We can survive outside of this
We can survive outside of ourselves
We can survive outside of this
We can survive outside of ourselves

By the sweat of your brow
You will eat your bread
Until you return to the ground
By the sweat of your brow
You will eat your bread
Until you return to the ground

By the sweat of your brow
You will eat your bread
Until you return to the ground
By the sweat of your brow
You will eat your bread
Until you return to the ground
