The Sweater: A Story of Community

As Holly takes her morning stroll in the thicket, she comes across a small bird. It was plain to see he'd been through some things. The bird is alone and trying to find shelter for the winter. And Holly knows exactly what to do to help.

Illustrating the transformative role a community can play in caring for its members, The Sweater is a powerful and poignant tale of compassion and acceptance.

★ BCCB、Kirkus、Publishers Weekly、Booklist 星級書評

本書是一個從「一件小事」開始的溫暖故事。一天早上，Holly 在灌木叢裡散步時，遇見了一隻小鳥。牠孤單又有點狼狽，看起來走過很長、很冷的路，正努力為冬天找一個安心的地方。

Holly 沒有多想，她只是伸出手，做了自己能做的一點點幫忙。沒想到，這個小小的行動，慢慢引來更多關心，也讓整個社群一起動了起來。原來，當大家願意分享與付出，再小的善意，也能變成溫暖的力量。
