In 1823, clergyman Clement Clarke Moore, from upstate New York, captured the imagination of the entire nation with his delightful, rhymed description of red-suited Santa Claus and his reindeer-drawn sleigh. This bilingual book, in both English and Italian, brings the magic Moore captured in his poem to kids all over the world. This bilingual version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas came from Sally’s desire to share the beloved holiday poem with her daughter in both languages, bridging the cultures. It took several years-and many bilingual friends-to perfect the Italian version of the poem. She hopes you enjoy its simplicity, rhyme and rhythm… and especially its holiday spirit. Sally is the founder of the Italian non-profit Associazione Hands-On Sicily, that creates opportunities for 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, English language youth summer camps taught by tourists, Sicilian cooking classes taught by grandmothers, the music CD 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.

Nel 1823 l'ecclesiastico Clemente Clarke Moore, dalla campagna dello stato di New York, catturo l'immaginazione dell'intera nazione con la sua deliziosa poesia raffigurante Babbo Natale nell'abito rosso con una sua slitta trainata di renne. Questo libro bilingue, in inglese ed in italiano, porta la magia che Moore ha catturato nella sua poesia ai bambini in tutto il mondo.Questa versione bilingue del 'Twas the Night Before Christmas ( La magica notte di Natale ) e venuta dal desiderio di Sally di condividere l'amata poesia natalizia con sua figlia in entrambe le lingue, ponendo le culture. Ci sono voluti diversi anni-e molti amici bilingui-per perfezionare la versione italiana della poesia. Sally spera che goderete della sua semplicita, rima e ritmo… e soprattutto il suo spirito della stagione.Sally e la fondatrice dell'Associazione Hands-On Sicily, che promuove tutte le cose siciliane e crea delle opportunita per i giovani dell'isola di collaborare con il mondo.
