About This Book

Annabelle finds a box of magical yarn that never runs out and begins knitting colorful sweaters for everyone and everything in her cold, drab town. When an evil archduke arrives and demands the extraordinary yarn for himself, Annabelle must stand up to protect what she's built.

Why We Love This

Jon Klassen's illustrations are gorgeous against the snowy backdrop, and the story's message about generosity and creativity resonates deeply. A modern classic.
