The Sweater: A Story of Community
COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 2–A raccoon named Molly goes out for a walk one day and finds a bird who “had been through some things.” Molly rallies the other animals of her community to help the bird, and together they all weather a terrible winter storm. This story is written with beautiful imagery and wonderfully evocative vocabulary. The artwork has a limited palette of blues, grays, browns, and rust colors that portray the chill of winter as well as the warmth of an accepting community. The themes of supporting others in times of need, gratitude, and empathy are well-developed and easily identifiable for even young readers. This is a truly special book that can be read on different levels, and the illustrations provide an emotional component that will resonate with children.
VERDICT A simple notion carried out with intention, effectively evoking compassion in children across many grade levels.
