At the beginning of my holiday guide I featured some great ways to give back. One of which was Knit a cap, save a newborn life. I got nothing in return for the post, I just wanted to share a great cause. Recently I got an email from them!
We wanted to thank you for your involvement with Save the Children’s Caps for Good initiative – your participation will make a lasting difference for mothers and children across the world. To
show our appreciation, we want to give you a give-away gift to feature
on your blog. It’s a beautifully illustrated new children’s book called Shall I knit you a hat: A Christmas Yarn.
Written and illustrated by sisters Kate Klise and M. Sarah Klise, the
book, autographed by the authors, is about giving and friendship during
the holiday season, and the importance of a cozy, warm cap during the
chilly months ahead.
How sweet are they!!!
Shall I knit you a hat: A Christmas Yarn
Written and illustrated by sisters Kate Klise and M. Sarah Klise
Knitting is
such a popular pastime these days, it's no surprise that after Mother
Rabbit hears there's a blizzard on the way, she knits a woolly blue cap
to cover Little Rabbit's ears. Little Rabbit then suggests making
Christmas presents of hats for their friends, and he distracts the
horse, the goose, and the others while Mother measures for the chapeaus.
Working feverishly (and with Little Rabbit's help), Mother finishes the
hats, which are silly and cumbersome as well as very cute, just in
time. The recipients' initial response is underwhelming, but after the
snow starts flying, the animals quickly become appreciative. Young ones
may not understand why there's no thank you from the animals at first,
but even missing this point won't diminish their enjoyment much. The
acrylic artwork glows with humor and radiates warmth. The design
features a varied layout that finds full-page pictures loaded with
details juxtaposed with spreads and pages decorated with cameo art.
If you have not done so, I urge you to check out Knit a cap, save a newborn life. Every little bit helps those children!
