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.
