one of my favorites!
by Julie -
I love how this story beautifully describes each step required to making a garment while showing children how to cooperate, give and receive, and live in a community. I recommend this to every family with young children. I never tire of reading it... and I will probably feel the same many years from now reading it to my grandchildren.

Sweet
by Samantha -
Very sweet gentle story that helps children to see the process of where Pele's new suit comes from. it has been a favorite of my son since we bought it when he was 3 and still a favorite at nearly 9!
Enchanting
by Emily -
This enchanting tale of how young Pelle makes a new suit is such an important process for young children to read about. We do a fair amount of sewing/knitting in our house, but this story really helped walk my children through the entire process of how our clothing comes into existence.
Favorite Else Beskow Book
by Katherine Y. -
This has been a family favorite since my sons were babies. It is a beautiful, simple story with a lovely message. How often do children's books depict little boys tending their grandmother's farms? Just a delight and utterly timeless.
