About The Littlest Weaver:
Far from the sea
in the hills and hollers of Appalachia's great Southern Highlands
lived Laurel, the littlest weaver, and her pa.
Together they wove story rugs filled with honeysuckle and summer sunshine.
For Laurel, though small, had a gift for weaving as if her mama's angel hands guided hers.
Laurel and her father weave beautiful rugs for the people of their mountain town. When a stranger moves to town with sadness in his eyes and a lonely doll on his table, Laurel wants to help. With gorgeous illustrations of the natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountains and depictions of the Appalachian weaving tradition, The Littlest Weaver shows us how to hold space for grief and warms your heart like a woven blanket.
About author Robin Hall: Robin Hall holds an MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts. Like Laurel, she is also a weaver. She teaches creative writing to children, yoga to all ages, and lives in North Carolina on a tiny farm with one husband, five children, four dogs, three looms, and too many chickens to count. She believes everyone has a need to create, whether it be the best loaf of bread, a beautiful rug, or a story to share.
