Knitting Nell

This is the story of Nell, a quiet girl who loves to knit. She knits all the time! She knits blankets, and socks and hats and scarves and mittens to give away to people in need. Eventually, she knits a beautiful sweater for herself, which she enters in the county fair. At the fair, Nell is honored in more ways than one. This is a good story to illustrate the importance of sharing and giving to others. It is a first picture book by Minnesotan Julie Jersild Roth.
