K-Gr 3--Maya wakes up early one morning, excited that it is cold enough to finally wear her favorite sweater. Then the sweater snags on a chair at breakfast, and Maya is devastated. But she soon sees that the yarn that came off can help others. First her cat uses some yarn to play with, then birds add a piece to their nest outside her house. As she makes her way to school, she helps people along the way as her sweater continues to unravel. What started as a disaster turns into a day filled with acts of kindness all due to the sweater. Bright, colorful illustrations highlight the positive message, and characters are diverse; Maya has light brown skin and thick curly hair. Minimal text on each page makes this a quick and easy read. VERDICT A positive and uplifting book with a generous circular ending that young readers will love.--Heidi Dechief
