Grandmothers knitting sweaters is cliche, but it adds to this simple story in a simple style.

Grandma lives alone in a forest knitting sweaters. When she returns from visiting her grandchildren in the city her large supply of yarn has mysteriously disappeared. Then streamers of yarn decorate the forest outside Grandma’s home. Grandma discovers her forest animal neighbors she has previously been oblivious to.

Stephanie McMillan’s pictures give Grandma depth by having her knit sweater, blanket, and curtains the texture of knit fabric in otherwise two dimensional illustrations which only adds to the charm of Grandma and the story.
