Nonna's Porch

by Rita Gray, Terry Widener (Illustrator)

"Nonna's porch is very still," blessed with the quietude of nature. All of that changes when the sounds of grandchildren burst onto the scene, disrupting the serenity and sending the animals running. But Nonna is able to restore harmony to her home by knitting a wonder-filled blanket for her grandchild, inspired by the beautiful vistas around her. In Nonna's Porch, Rita Gray's verse and Terry Widener's vivacious art compose a peaceful refrain for life, laughter, and love.

This was one of the books I found by searching for knitting-related stories in the picture book section. It's a cute bedtime book and it has great onomatopoeia to read aloud and the ever-present knitting basket. Very cute.

A sweet and calming story about all of the different sounds that are heard from and around Nonna’s porch.
This was a book give to my daughters by their "Nonna", a simple story with beautiful illustrations!
