Illustrated by
Elena Odriozola.
Babba Zarrah entertains the village children with stories as they sit on her woolen blanket. When she discovers that many villagers are in need of new clothes, Babba Zarrah begins knitting them new clothing from the (diminishing) blanket. Readers will enjoy this warm tale about the virtues of sharing. The colorful illustrations and cheerfully rounded figures stand out against wintry white backgrounds.
