Tomie Live in Concert. "The concert was videotaped in front of 500 children and adults at the Dana Center on the campus of Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. Tomie dePaola interacts with the audience, talks about childhood experiences, reads his books, Tom and Strega Nona, gives an art lesson and shows how he draws his most popular character 'Strega Nona.' The evening performance is capped off with enthusiastic instructions on how to do a genuine Italian kiss! THIS IS THE BEST OF TOMIE!" 65 minutes, 1999.
