About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a sense of loss over a broken item or when you want to encourage them to see beyond their own needs to the needs of their neighbors. It is a perfect choice for teaching that one person's misfortune can be transformed into another's miracle through a change in perspective. The story follows Maya, whose favorite sweater begins to unravel after a snag. Instead of focusing on the loss, she uses the loose yarn to help people in her community, eventually seeing that kindness is a reciprocal loop. The book is ideal for ages 4 to 8, offering a gentle introduction to community service and the interconnectedness of a diverse neighborhood. Parents will appreciate the bilingual elements and the way it models emotional resilience and generosity without feeling preachy.
