Pulling Together by Lois WickstromMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Grandma is knitting a poncho for Lila but it's no ordinary poncho. This one has three heads! Lila is confused but Grandma keeps saying, "We all pull together!" Lila goes out to see her friends. They aren't as kind as they should be about her poncho but when the things get tough, the poncho will pull everyone together.
I love how this story features a grandmother knitting her grandchild something! I am a crafter and I can appreciate this sentiment so much! Many times things are gifted that aren't immediately appreciated but then something happens and the thing that the receiver thinks they didn't want becomes a treasure. I love the relationship that Lila has with her grandmother too! There's nothing like a grandmother!
This is a great book to read with your favorite youngsters about friendship and bullying. It's also a great lesson in respecting those around you, including elders. I highly recommend this one!
