It’s cold. It’s cold outside, but it’s also cold inside because the heater isn’t working. A mother and her daughter are freezing. They need woolen socks and a long woolen scarf, a scarf long enough to warm everything: the house, the trees and the whole frozen world around them.

Meria Palin’s enchanting debut Magic Knitting Needles is a silent book based on purely visual storytelling. It is a comforting timeless story about how caring for others warms our hearts and how we all want to be safe and have a place to call home.

PRAISE
I absolutely fell in love with this book! In addition to the skillful illustrations and the story itself, I especially liked the fact that there is no text in the book, so the reader can use the pictures to think about the course of the story. A charming and high-quality book in every way. – Maiju, 12.10.2023
