About the Author

Lisa Manzione's interest in travel began at an early age. Later in life, as Lisa's own children grew up, the idea for the Bella and Harry series was born. The series was developed with the hope of inspiring young readers to embrace the world and encourage its exploration. Done through the comedic and informative adventures of Bella and Harry, Lisa's hope is to stimulate children's imaginations and foster a thirst for understanding the world in which they live.

The Adventures of Bella and Harry now has over 20 titles currently available in multiple languages and formats. Lisa also ensures there are educational resources (lesson plans, coloring pages and other activities) available for all of her titles. For more information about the series, please visit BellaAndHarry.com


As a mother of two avid readers, Kristine Lucco has a unique talent and particular flair for children-centered themes that has evolved quite naturally into illustrating children's books. She is quick to credit her own children for inspiring this phase of her art, as it is often conceived by seeing the characters and places through their eyes.

Read an Excerpt

"Our fist stop is the Flavian Amphitheater, more commonly known as the Roman Colosseum.  Today, the Colosseum is one of the most visited sites in Rome.  The Coloseum is in ruins now, mosly becausee of earthquakes and stone robbers. Most people believe the Colosseum is one of the best buildings ever built by the Romans.  The building is about 2,000 years old.  It's an 'amphitheater', which means the building is usually oval or round, and there is no roof covering the center area of the theater."

"Harry, Circus Maximus is not a circus with animals or games.  Circus Maximus was a place for chaiot races long ago.  It was the first and largest stadium in Rome.  It measures about 2,050 feet long ... or about 342 average lions ... standing tail to tail."

"We are going to have lunch at Piazza Navona today.  The piazza, or open square, has a big fountain, whcih has one obelisk (a four sided, tall stone) in the middle of the fountain."

Interviews

The series was developed with the hope of inspiring young readers to embrace the world and encourage its exploration.  Done through the comedic and informative adventures of Bella and Harry, while traveling through various countries, I hope to stimulate children's imaginations and foster a thirst for understanding the world in which they live.
