Learn about the wool cycle as Nari knits a scarf from her sheep's fleece in this lively, charming celebration of sustainability and fibre crafts.
On a gentle slope in rolling hills stood a little house of wood and stone. There were hens and bees and apple trees, bright flowers and soft green grass. And Nari had a little lamb of her very own.
As the seasons change, Nari and her parents shear her sheep's fleece, and spin and dye the wool. Nari knits the yarn into a cozy yellow scarf.
But as Nari grows older, her beloved scarf becomes tattered. It's time to recycle the wool into compost, with a little help from the worms.
This charming picture book will help children understand where clothing comes from, and is a joyful celebration of traditional crafts and sustainable living. The luminous illustrations are full of character, texture and seasonal detail.
'Delicate, colorful illustrations fill each page with pretty people, cute animals, and idyllic scenes. An informative, easy-to-follow, pleasing lesson in readying wool for knitting.'—Kirkus Reviews
'Love it. Stella Lim took pains to keep this book accurate from start to finish. Impressive and cool.'—Betsy Bird, School Library Journal
