Merry Christmas, Strega Nona -1986

This handcrafted journal is created from a cherished 1986 printing of Merry Christmas, Strega Nona by beloved illustrator and storyteller Tomie dePaola. Featuring Strega Nona wrapped in her signature red cloak beneath a snowy village sky, this timeless holiday cover radiates warmth, wonder, and gentle nostalgia straight from the golden age of picture books.

Inside, ALL original story pages are preserved between smooth, high-quality blank journal pages, allowing favorite moments from this classic tale to mingle with your own reflections, holiday lists, letters, recipes, or seasonal memories.

Each journal is individually handmade in our Vermont studio using authentic pre-loved books. Natural wear and age add character, making every piece a one-of-a-kind treasure. No two journals are exactly alike.

A perfect keepsake for fans of Tomie dePaola, collectors of vintage children’s books, holiday memory-keepers, writers, teachers, or anyone who treasures the magic of Christmas traditions and timeless illustration.
