Children's & young adult fiction & true stories

A heartwarming winter picture book featuring multicultural characters that's sure to appeal to families who enjoy knitting.

This heartwarming winter story is perfect for those who

love to knit and parents looking to teach their children about the importance

of doing good for others!

Mrs. Goldman always knits hats for everyone in the neighborhood, and

Sophia, who thinks knitting is too hard, helps by making the pom-poms. But

now winter is here, and Mrs. Goldman herself doesn't have a hat-she's too

busy making hats for everyone else! It's up to Sophia to buckle down and knit

a hat for Mrs. Goldman. But try as Sophia might, the hat turns out lumpy, the

stitches aren't even, and there are holes where there shouldn't be holes.

Sophia is devastated until she gets an idea that will make Mrs. Goldman's hat

the most wonderful of all. Readers both young and old will relate to Sophia's

frustrations, as well as her delight in making something special for someone

she loves.

A knitting pattern is included in the back of the book.

"" A

celebration of winter mitzvahs, or kind deeds. Karas's adorable,

radiant art adds to the heartwarming mood.""--The
