Practicing Kindness,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mitten Tree (Hardcover)
An old woman watches the neighborhood children at play, but one child has no mittens to keep hands protected from winter's chill. The woman sits down and begins to solve the problem. After finishing one pair, she keeps knitting until she can secretly fill a tree with mittens. She in turn receives a surprise. This book is great for teaching kindness and compassion. After reading this book, a kindergarten class had a visitor come to demonstrate knitting. As she knit a pink pair of mittens, a boy sidled up to her and asked, "Do you have blue wool, too?"

A Must Read to a child book,
This review is from: The Mitten Tree (Hardcover)
I am a mittenlady. I knit mittens. I have read this book to over 3,000 children. If you have a knitter in your community, have them read and demonstrate, every teacher should have this book on their shelf. I wouldn't be without it. It is by far my favorite childrens book
3.0 out of 5 stars
Positive Message,

This review is from: The Mitten Tree (Paperback)
The Mitten Tree is the story of a lonely old woman whose children have all grown. One day she notices a young boy who doesn't have any warm mittens. She knits some mittens for him, and places them on a tree near his bus-stop where he can find them. She never tells anyone about the mittens, and eventually she begins knitting for all the kids at the bus stop. Eventually, her supply of yarn is depleted. Then, one day she finds a basket full of yarn at her doorstep. From that day forward, she continues to knit for all the children.
The message in this story is clear. A lonely woman's heart becomes full when she performs an anonymous act of kindness for someone in need. DeeDee Fox, author and illustrator, The Ruby Red Slippers
