COMING THIS SUMMER—JUNE 30, 2024!

Welcome to Pisa!
I’m thrilled you dropped by.
I’m Bella the bell tower—
Eight stories high!

And so begins this uplifting rhyming tale told by Bella, Italy’s famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. For hundreds of years, Bella has felt proud of her gravity-defying tilt. But her confidence is tested one day when she overhears hurtful words about her appearance. Bella responds by making a big change, one that leaves the residents of Pisa and visitors from around the world worried that their treasured tower will never be the same again.

Splashed with joyful art, memorable rhymes, and Italian expressions, Pisa Loves Bella is a celebratory and heartfelt story—as sweet as spumoni!—about kindness toward others and yourself.
