Not wrong at all! I loved EXTRA YARN, too, though, so it’d be a tough choice for me. Fortunately, they’re both short, so there’s time for two! 😉

Thanks, Tammy! Yes, KNIT YOUR BIT would be great for activism and good citizenship studies for young readers. I enjoyed it immensely.

Thank you, Jeanne! And yes, Deborah is amazing, and I think KNIT YOUR BIT is one of her best. What a fun story!

I enjoyed reading Deborah Hopkinson’s thoughtful and inspiring words about researching and writing stories inspired by true events. I was interested to read about the origin of this story… a newsletter about firemen knitting in World War I (with the the photo on the KNIT YOUR BIT Pinterest Board). Deborah is such a special author of children’s books — it was a treat to read this interview.
And, I just read about your inspirational picture book picture book about Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah that will be published by Schwartz & Wade/Random House. Congratulations!

I’ll likely look for this one, Knit your bit and her latest one, too. Activism and good citizenship are part of the social studies curriculum in Alberta. Good tie-ins.
Thanks for taking part in today’s Nonfiction Monday event.
