Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf

by Alana Dakos, Neesha Hudson (Illustrator)

Overview

Annie really wants to learn how to knit.  But when her mommy teaches her the stitches, she feels frustrated that her knitting looks more like swiss cheese than a real scarf.  Will she slow down, be patient, and keep trying?
Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf is a story about overcoming hurdles to learn something new, even when it's challenging.
