Reach for this book when you want to shift your child's focus from getting to giving, especially during the busy holiday season. It is a gentle antidote to the commercialism of Christmas, emphasizing that the most meaningful gifts are those crafted with thought and shared with love. The story follows a single bolt of red cloth as it passes from a king to a kitchen maid, then to a badger, a squirrel, and finally a tiny mouse. Each character finds just enough material left over to create something special for someone they love. This story is ideal for children ages 3 to 7 who are beginning to understand the concept of community and the joy found in small, thoughtful gestures. The repetitive, rhythmic structure makes it a soothing bedtime read, while the whimsical illustrations spark creativity. It is a wonderful choice for families who enjoy crafting or who want to model how one person's 'scraps' can become another person's treasure, reinforcing themes of resourcefulness and empathy.
