of his own? With warm illustrations in Tomie's classic folk-art
style, this refreshed addition to the Strega Nona series is a
must-have for fans of all ages.

Tomie dePaola serves as "biographer" to his delightful Italian sorceress, Strega Nona, in this beautifully drawn prequel. The tale begins with little Nona's birth on a dark and stormy night, and ends where the original Strega Nona picks up-with Strega Nona taking on the bumbling, knock-kneed Big Anthony as an apprentice. This winsome story is illustrated throughout with Tomie dePaola's warm and sunny watercolors! "dePaola does a splendid job of working this sparkling tale into the Strega Nona canon." -Publishers Weekly
In spring, the hills and meadows of Texas and Wyoming are ablaze
with the reds, oranges, and yellows of the Indian Paintbrush. How
this striking plant received its name is told in an old Indian
legend.
Many years ago, when the People traveled the Plains, a young
Indian boy had a Dream-Vision in which it was revealed that one day
he would create a painting that was as pure as the colors of the
evening sky at sunset. The boy grew up to become the painter of the
tribe, but although he found a pure white buckskin for a canvas and
made paints from the brightest flowers and the reddest berries, he
could not capture the sunset.
How the young Indian artist finally fulfills his Dream-Vision
is lovingly told and illustrated by Tomie dePaola, in words and
pictures that capture the spirit and beauty of this dramatic
legend.
A timeless story inspired by the Book of Job and illustrated by the
legendary Tomie dePaola-now reissued as a board book Originally
published in 1987 and now available as a board book for the first
time, God Is Great,God Is Good showcases Tomie dePaola's
unmistakable illustration style against this poetic text based on
passages from the Bible's Book of Job.
