(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. Claire knits stockings for the wealthy residents of her town. Just before Christmas, she gives a poor boy five of the six socks she had knit for a rich woman. Claire hangs up the sixth stocking, and on Christmas morning she finds that it is bulging with gifts. This wordy story is illustrated with softly luminous, atmospheric paintings.
