I dare you to be grumpy after reading this book!
This is a tale set in the past that is all too timely today... A stranger visits and grumpy Griselda grudgingly offers her a place to stay. A chance encounter, an unexpected gift and a few words of kindness go a long way toward helping the lonely old woman realize the mighty benefits of caring for others. The simple story and bright illustrations have something for all ages -- my two year old loves how Griselda is always saying, "Pah!" and I love that I'm making a moral lecture fun for him while gently reminding myself to stop being negative... The Magic Kerchief is an inventive, enchanting tale that will teach people for generations both the importance of being kind as well as the true magic of a good book!
A Charming, Thoughtful and Enlightening Tale!
A wonderful original folktale with a message for ALL OF US. Griselda - the town "grump" is magically transformed by the gift of a scarf from a stranger. No longer the bitter old woman with a sharp word for all, Griselda (to her dismay) is able to only utter kindnesses to the people of the town. She learns that to HAVE a friend - you first have to BE a friend. Wonderful humor paired with delightful illustrations make this a book not only worth owning yourself but giving to your favorite child as a GIFT. This message is timeless - and this book is a KEEPER!!
