From the Publisher
Sofia paints the Brooklyn landscape through her Sunday dialogues with her Italian nana, her Uncle Frankie, and local merchants. As Sofias cousins listen to Uncle Frankie recount the events at Ebbets Field from the exhibition game on April 11, 1947, Sofias nana sends her on errands down 18th Street to buy cheese, bread, and cannoli for their Sunday dinner.This multicultural story focuses on the intergenerational relationships in an Italian-American family in Brooklyn during the 1960s. Uncle Frankies keepsake from that historic day in baseball history makes this story a treasure for Sofia and all who read it.
