Endpapers a darkish sage green
1st line/s: "On a cold afternoon, in a cold little town, where everywhere you looked was either the white of snow or the black of soot from chimneys, Annabelle found a box filled with yarn of every color."
My comments: Start with a great story....about yarn! ....and knitting! ... and doing for others! ... add great illustrations ... make the protagonist a YARNBOMBER! ... and you have one happy knitter/reader/picture book enthusiast .... me! I've read this over and over, but this is the first time I've written about it. I think I'll take it to my "stitcher's group" next week and read it aloud to them. Good idea, huh?
Goodreads: This looks like an ordinary box full of ordinary yarn.
But it turns out it isn't.
