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.

★ “Piccolo, a “very helpful” shrew sporting a jaunty scarf and cap, begins the day sipping coffee on a balcony overlooking an Italian cityscape rendered in golds, yellows, and oranges that radiate with promise. …Working in saturated, digitally enhanced brush and ink, Yaccarino creates a world in which helping others facilitates la dolce vita—and dolci, too.”Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A more fervent picture-book tribute to Italy may not exist. Yaccarino’s bold artwork makes excellent use of texture and shading; small joys abound, too...this paean to Italian lands, culture, and food is a perfect read....A love letter to Italy at its best and a snazzy charmer of a book through and through."Kirkus Reviews
