Book excerpt: Like a well-worn, snuggly blanket, this sweet bedtime story about a little bear who's afraid of the dark and his mother's creative solution will warm and comfort readers big and small. Frankie is a little bear who has a hard time falling asleep. The dark is scary, and he hates to be alone. So his mother gives him a ball of yarn to hold when he goes to bed, and she keeps the other end in the next room, working it into a surprise for Frankie. Every few nights the yarn color changes, and Frankie dreams in all the colors that he and his mother pick out. One night he's swimming in turquoise water, another night he's in a cool gray fog. He plays with a marmalade kitten and eats delicious chocolate cake. Eventually Frankie and his mother create something special--and Frankie learns that he's always connected to those he loves, even when he's alone in the dark. A beautiful story of love and crafting, A Bedtime Yarn will appeal to knitters, sleepy little bears and any parents dealing with their child's fear of the dark.

Book excerpt: Peter misses his parents when they¿re not with him. How can he stop feeling sad? With help from his grandmother, Peter opens his imagination to ¿see¿ the magic yarn that knits together families¿maybe even the whole world¿despite distance and time. Magic Yarn¿s brilliant illustrations juxtapose the coziness of Peter¿s everyday life with the vastness of the universe, where points of light shine boldly in the midst of darkness. Not long after Magic Yarn was born, a seven-year-old boy was staying overnight at his grandmother¿s house. Bedtime arrived, along with a large dose of separation anxiety. He knew he¿d never fall sleep without his parents. Grandma tried her best to reassure him. She hugged him, talked to him, read to him and sang to him, but nothing worked. Then she remembered Magic Yarn. She read it to him¿not once, but three times. He fell asleep with the book tucked under his pillow. In the morning, he asked his grandmother for some yarn, which he tied around a tree in her back yard. Magic Yarn quickly became a regular part of his bedtime ritual, and, according to his parents, miraculously ended his separation anxiety. Do you know a child who could use a little Magic Yarn?
