Extra Yarn
Author: Mac Barnett
Illustrator: Jon Klassen
Extra Yarn is about a girl named Annabelle who lives in a very dull, colorless town. She finds a box of brightly-colored yarn, so she knits herself a sweater. She has more yarn, so she knits for everyone and everything including the trees and a truck, until her whole city is covered in bright knitted goodness. A villainous archduke offers to buy the box, but Annabelle refuses. He steals it, but finds it contains no yarn at all, and with the help of just a bit more magic, it finds its way back to Annabelle.
This book is beautifully illustrated by Jon Klassen, whose I Want My Hat Back has been a runaway hit for independent booksellers.
