An update from a family that sells authentic Italian cookware.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1412
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week we heard from one of two Canadian co-founders who worked together at an advertising agency (and who were also both moms of young kids ). They decided that children’s books need to be able to deal with real issues, in a sensitive way but without skirting reality. That’s the mission that serves as a foundation for their project, “children’s books about real life.” Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from an Italian American who sells a line of imported housewares from his homeland.
