Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of time or feeling frustrated that things don't happen instantly. It is a perfect antidote to our fast-paced world, offering a gentle invitation to slow down and appreciate the labor of love that goes into a handmade object. Through the story of a sheep named Carolyn and the creation of a blanket for a young boy, the book illuminates the connection between nature, craftsmanship, and family care. Kathryn Lasky captures the meticulous steps of shearing, carding, spinning, and weaving with a sense of quiet wonder.

It is especially effective for fostering a sense of gratitude for the items we often take for granted and for introducing children to the beauty of a slow, purposeful process.
