Piccolo

A Story Time event for children with author Dan Yaccarino

Italian American Museum invites children ages 3-9 (with parental supervision) to attend Story Time with author Dan Yaccarino.

About the book:

Ciao! Enter the endearing world of Piccolo, a problem-solver whose optimism, boundless enthusiasm, and love of gelato inspires his animal friend community.

Piccolo the stylish shrew is a list maker. On his list are all the favorite places he is eager to visit. As his day begins, he runs into his pal Mr. Rosso who needs help carrying his artwork to the museum. Piccolo can't believe his luck: the museum is on his list of favorite places! In no time at all, Piccolo is helping all his friends solve problems as he zips around the city on his scooter.

But with so many ways to lend a hand, Piccolo might not have time to visit the one place on his list he loves the most.

Full of adventure, culture, and some tasty hazelnut gelato, this endearing tale of friendship and teamwork proves that helping others is the most powerful triumph of all.

Ticket price includes admission to the Museum's current exhibitions, "Nuvolari – Comeback New York: An immersive exhibition celebrating the life of Tazio Nuvolari on the 90th Anniversary of his victory in the Vanderbilt Cup on Columbus Day, October 12, 1936", "Sicilian Theater in Little Italy: The Return of the Manteo Puppets" and "Goodnight, Maria: A Tribute to all the women who worked tirelessly in the garment industry to live the American dream".
