[PW] Children's book, website or magazine article explaining "feast of the seven fishes"?

[Reference]

Hello Wombats -

Here's a seasonal stumper.

A patron is going to be talking to a class of
elementary school kids about the Italian (or
Italian-American) Christmas Eve custom of the
Feast of the Seven Fishes, and she wants
something - preferably a book - to use with her
presentation.

I looked in all our juvenile cultural, Christmas,
Italian, and cooking books (and our adult books
too) and can't find what she needs. A couple of
cookbooks give a brief explanation and then go on
to recipes. She's not interested in recipes; she
is looking for description/history/explanation of
the custom. 

All I've found so far are a few articles - one
from Yankee magazine and a couple from the Food
sections of newspapers. They're OK, and they do
give the explanation she wants --  but the
writing is not geared toward children, so they're
not quite what she wants.

"Seven Fishes" doesn't turn up anything in our
catalog. I was hoping maybe someone knows of a
book, website or magazine article that I can
recommend to her. 

Thanks!

Barb
