About the Book

Sicily's rich history comes alive in this elementary school workbook, sponsored by the "Associazione Hands-On Sicily," illustrated by children, made for children who want to learn more about the largest island in the Mediterranean. Learn about the thirteen cultures who have dominated Sicily over its 5,000-year history. Relive the island's Golden Ages and tumultuous periods. Marvel at its innovations. Cry at its defeats. See which leaders were far ahead of their time--uniting the diverse island populations. Discover which invaders brought new ingredients to Sicilian cuisine. Be surprised to learn that pasta was originally a dish for the rich! Find out why tomatoes were once considered poisonous... and how Italians were the first to enjoy cooking with them. Learn when the first pizza was made (and for whom). Sicily is an amazing island with a history that is guaranteed to fascinate children of all ages.: -)
About the Author: Sally M. Veillette is an Italian-American who has spent the last twenty years living on and working with the island of Sicily. Being her maternal grandparents' ancestral home, Sally has more relatives in the small southeastern town of Ragusa than in all of the USA. This was one reason she chose to raise her daughter in Sicily for her formative years-a choice Sally "would make again today," she says. "The depth of Sicily's cultural roots, no matter how 'difficult' or 'downtrodden' some of their historical periods were, provides a foundation that one feels as soon as one steps foot on the island." Her Sicilian Roots series is made up of three books-a coloring book entitled "Let's Color the History of Sicily," this elementary school workbook entitled "My First Book of Sicilian History," and an illustrated history book entitled "Sicilian Roots." Sally is also the founder of the Italian non-profit "Associazione Hands-On Sicily," that promotes all things Sicilian and creates opportunities for the island youth to interact with the world. Some of their projects have included the island's first international youth soccer tournament featuring an A.C. Milan youth team, an English language youth summer camp taught by tourists, Sicilian cooking classes taught by grandmothers, a music CD called "Sicilian Heart" featuring Sicilian children's voices, an event in Palermo for international students to study the mafia, and hosting the American Pickers television crew for their "Sicilian Standoff" episode in which she appeared.
