Weaving the Rainbow

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stephanie Anderson. An age-old process is the subject of a story in which sheep contribute wool to the creator of a textile picture of the flock. The sheep farmer's anonymity (she's referred to only as "the weaver") makes the process seem once-removed from reality, and the story has a drifting quality. Watercolor illustrations on a beginning page show the sheep morphing into the woven picture.
