Chestnuts grow around each other inside prickly pods that are wild-looking and protective, like my family. Each nut is unique – some round, some flat – but all formed by one another, as they grow side by side …
It’s chestnut day and everyone in Carina’s big Italian family has a job to do … well, almost everyone.
So how do you find the place you belong, when it feels like there’s no room for you and everyone else fits in just right?
A picture book about big families, big traditions and big feelings from two new Australian talents.
