Our world, like Annabelle’s storybook land, may sometimes seem rather bleak and colorless. But with a spark of creativity, some sharing, and some work, both her environment (and ours) can be seen as beautiful, and interconnected. Mac Barnett’s text manages to feel both classic and contemporary, and I can’t think of an illustrator I’d rather see clothe the world in sweaters than Jon Klassen-just the rabbit on the cover is worth the price of admission. I love this simple yet powerful fable.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobert McDonald, Book Stall (Chicago, IL)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for EXTRA YARN: “In Annabelle’s chilly village, it’s a spare and gray season. The little girl finds a box of yarn, and knits herself a soft, warm, and colorful sweater-and then, it turns out, there is still plenty of yarn in the box. No matter how many sweaters Annabelle knits and gives away, her box is still full. Mac Barnett and John Klassen beautifully present this simple, profound fable about the inexhaustible resources of the heart.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSusan Kundhardt, Book Passage (San Francisco, CA)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for EXTRA YARN: “Whenever I look at Extra Yarn I feel warm and content.
