A lively, charming celebration of sustainability and crafting – Nari knits a scarf from her sheep's fleece. 'On a gentle slope in rolling hills stood a little house of wood and stone. There were hens and bees and apple trees, bright flowers and soft green grass. And Nari had a little lamb of her very own.' As the seasons change, Nari and her parents shear her sheep's fleece, and spin and dye the wool. Nari knits the yarn into a cosy yellow scarf. But as Nari grows older, her beloved scarf becomes tattered. It's time to recycle the wool into compost, with a little help from the worms. This charming picture book will help children understand where clothing comes from, and is a joyful celebration of traditional crafts and sustainable living. The luminous illustrations are full of character, texture and seasonal detail. ' Spin a Scarf of Sunshine is a book that our whole family absolutely loves. It is a new favorite for all ages, from my two-year-old brother to my nine-year-old sister, my parents, and me. In this book, you learn about how a girl named Nari cares for her baby sheep and spins its wool to make the yarn. And then she makes a scarf with it. Nari knits the scarf and enjoys wearing it and decides one day to let the scarf turn into compost. The book is nice and big and the pictures make you want to live in the country as that family does. It may also make you wish you had your own little lamb to snuggle.' – Xavier, age 5, for Kids Book Buzz 'A family embraces the Earth and its resources in this Scottish import.

Spin a Scarf of Sunshine brought me right back to childhood both in memories of carding and dying wool using gathered plants with my mom and then later as a Waldorf first grade teacher helping my students learn to knit their own scarves. My sons are now teenagers but from an early age they learned to make their own knitting needles and have knit hats, bags and scarves over the years.
