The Story of the Blanket is a story about giving and receiving. It is set in a snow bound village. The children in the village love settling down on Babba Zarrah's big old story blanket to listen to her stories. One day Babba Zarah notices there is a hole in one of the children's shoe. She decides to knit him some warm shoes. As they are snow bound, there is no one to deliver wool so she decides to unravel a little of the story blanket and use the wool for socks. Then she starts knitting various things for people in the village and leaves them on their doorstep as a surprise. Noone understands what is going on. Until one day,when they realize that there is no story blanket to sit on.
A lovely story about generosity to read during winter. Oh and the illustrations are so so beautiful. Delicate with beautiful details. I personally would love to sit on that story blanket . It is gorgeous!
