"Ciao! Meet Piccolo—the most stylish, scooter-riding shrew in the city!"
Enter a world of boundless optimism with Piccolo, a cheerful shrew who loves three things: making lists, helping his friends, and eating delicious hazelnut gelato.
Piccolo starts his day with a list of all his favorite places to visit. But as he zips around the city on his trusty scooter, he discovers that his friends need a hand. From helping Mr. Rosso carry artwork to the museum to solving problems for his animal community, Piccolo is always ready to jump in.
With his zippy energy and "can-do" attitude, Piccolo proves that while visiting your favorite places is fun, the greatest triumph of all is helping a friend in need. Full of culture, teamwork, and a touch of Italian flair, this endearing tale is a joy to read aloud.

We chose Piccolo because it’s a celebration of "the helper." In a busy world, Piccolo reminds us to slow down (or zip around!) and look for ways to make someone else's day a little brighter. It’s a sweet story with an even sweeter heart.
