A wonderful story about the determination and hope of two children, Paul and Maureen, driven by a deep desire to own a Chincoteague pony. I read this heartwarming and inspiring story three times to our children.
This picture book features an Inuit family. Grandmother has knitted a pair of bright red mittens for Pica. Their small, tight, smooth stitches keep the cold out and Pica thinks they are the finest mittens he has ever had. But he keeps losing them! He wishes they would not run away from him. He loses them at home and at school and almost misses out on a family fishing trip because he can't find his mittens. The surprise ending will leave your heart as warm as it would be if it were wrapped in one of Grandmother's well-knit mittens. Rie Munoz, the illustrator, lives in Alaska and her colorful pictures bring the story of Pica and his runaway mittens to life.
