About This Book

Annabelle finds a box of yarn with one peculiar quality: it never runs out. She knits sweaters for herself, her dog, her neighbours, and eventually for every house, tree, bridge, and creature in the whole drab town — and still there is extra yarn. Jon Klassen's moody, beautiful illustrations make this Caldecott Honor book feel like a fairy tale about generosity itself.
