Kids will love this read aloud about the old woman who simply longs for some peace and quiet to finish her knitting.
A new Picturebook favorite!
Anyone who's ever needed a moment alone can relate to this one, especially parents!

3.5 stars There are days when I want to wear a sign that Says "LEAVE ME ALONE" I liked that she went to the forest, caves, mountain tops and even the moon and still wasn't left alone. Then she found a worm hole...and well you'll have to read the book. My question is...can I find a Worm hole for a few days, by a warm beach, thank you!!
