I’m thrilled you stopped by.

 

—I’m Bella the Bell Tower

 

Eight stories high!

And so begins the uplifting rhyming tale told by Bella, Italy’s famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. For hundreds of years, Bella has been proud of her gravity-defying tilt. But her confidence cracks one day when she overhears mean words on the piazza. Bella responds by changing in a way that leaves residents of Pisa and visitors from around the world worried that the treasured landmark will never be the same again!

Told in fun-to-read rhyme and splashed with vibrant illustrations and Italian words and expressions, Pisa Loves Bella is a heartfelt story that celebrates travel as well as the importance of being kind to others and yourself.
