Welcome to Litsy!

I was shocked and excited to receive my #StuffedStockingSwap pkg. Now, I‘m in despair knowing I must wait until December 15th to open. ☺️

I‘ve been running loving cozy mysteries this autumn and today the #hauntedshelf book cover scavenger hunt challenge and Knitting caused me to add this one to the tbr!

“Things began to change in that little town. news spread of this remarkable girl who never ran out of yarn.”

This is a great story about sharing and getting joy from making others happy.

This story has an important theme about sharing happiness with others around you, and feeling good about doing good in your community. The girl in the story, Annabelle, finds a box of yarn that never runs out and she knits things to make her community more beautiful. When her yarn is taken away, she is left to enjoy the work she has done and see everyone else enjoy it too.

“'No sweater for me, thanks,' said Mr. Crabtree. So she made Mr. Crabtree a hat.“

I would definitely use this book in my classroom to teach students about character and what it means to show kindness/generosity. I think this would be a great read in any of the elementary grades!
