Growing up in Hungary, but spending the last 8 Christmas holidays (partly) in Italy, Lilla has discovered a couple of Christmas traditions tour books don't really talk about. Let's see her top 3 favourites! 1. The Helmet Do you know the famous Italian Christmas cakes? Usually there is a fight between panettone and pandoro , but this tradition is not about them, but their package ! In many Italian families, children love grabbing scissors, and transforming the huge paper boxes into knight...

We believe that picture books are for everyone: children, young people, and adults alike. In this selection, we present three books that celebrate both storytelling and illustration, and can be great ideas for Christmas presents! Their artwork is mesmerizing, and their content is heartwarming and entertaining at the same time.

Walk into any supermarket in Italy in the weeks before Christmas and you’ll be greeted by displays of beautifully wrapped boxes. What's inside these magical packages? Two traditional Italian Christmas cakes: Pandoro and Panettone.
