A young girl and her magical yarn transform a community in this stunning picture book by rising stars Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen.

The final spread, all light and yarn-covered tree limbs, brings Barnett’s clever, quiet yarn full circle, to a little girl and a town, now colorful and happy.” - Horn Book (starred review) “Klassen’s pacing, especially the mostly wordless sequence when the box floats back to Annabelle on a triangle of an iceberg, is impeccable. ![]() “Klassen’s deadpan, stylized illustrations impeccably complement Barnett’s quirky droll writing.” - School Library Journal (starred review) ![]() “Understated illustrations and prose seamlessly construct an enchanting and mysterious tale.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Theres nothing to say butperfect. - Lane Smith, New York Times bestselling author of It's a Book ![]()
