About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the special bond between a child and a grandparent, or when you need a lighthearted way to spark a toddler's interest in making and creating. This interactive story follows a tireless grandmother whose knitting needles never stop, producing increasingly absurd and colorful garments for everyone she meets. It is a joyful exploration of how we show love through handmade gifts, using humor to keep young readers engaged. Ideal for ages 2 to 5, the book uses tactile elements like lift-the-flaps and pull-tabs to mirror the surprise of unwrapping a present. Beyond the silliness of penguin pullovers and woolly wigs, it provides a wonderful opening to talk about gratitude and the time and care that go into things made by hand. It is a perfect choice for a cozy lap-read before a visit to a relative or as an inspiration for a rainy day craft project.

A preschooler who has a close relationship with a 'maker' grandparent or a child who enjoys tactile, cause-and-effect storytelling. It is also excellent for children who might find long narratives difficult but thrive with interactive, visual humor.
