October is also “Italian American Heritage Month”! This month is a celebration and acknowledgement of Italian American heritage, history and culture throughout time and across the nation. For this article, I’ve picked out some of the best children’s picture books, chapter books and movies, featuring Italian characters and stories, available at WPPL to celebrate this month!

We hope you check out these books and movies!
