Welcome to Litsy!

4 ⭐This book may be a little long, but the story is heartfelt. It is about a selfish king who wants presents and gifts from everybody. The one present he can‘t have is a quilt from the lady in the mountains. She only makes quilts for people who can‘t afford them. She tells the king give of yourself and I will make you a quilt. The king will not do this. Instead, he punishes the old lady and in turn just punishes himself.

What a gorgeous book. Giving does give more joy than receiving. Follow the illustrations for details of the story too.

There was once a quiltmaker who kept a house in the blue misty mountains up high.

If this lady was my grandmother I would be ecstatic

Book of the year winner
The quiktmaker is like a mother Teresa character which is so great. She just knits her way out of the craziest situations and I think that is a good way to desk with your problems. Takes a while to read though, not optimal for younger kids.

“When at last there was no one left in town who had not received something, the king decided to go out into the world and find others who might be in need of gifts”

This book is so beautifully illustrated and teaches really valuable lessons throughout. Such a great book for kids.
