Cameron loves Grandma--but no one could love the rainbow-striped, button-bedecked sweater she knit for him. Only after the sweater has survived three creative attempts at destruction does Cameron learn its true meaning--and what he means to Grandma. The text, though didactic, is warm-hearted. The illustrations effectively play with light and shadow. Knitting instructions are appended.
