There was one main thing I really liked about this book and one main thing that fell short for me.
The good thing was the imagery. It was unique how the illustrator combined real materials with drawings. It also made a beautiful contrast that worked perfectly with the book, and it added a lot. This aspect also increases the individuality of this book because combining real elements with drawn elements isn't a common artistic choice.
The thing that I didn't like so much was the plot structure. There was a plot, but it felt more like the skeleton of a plot rather than a complete one. Additionally, the story came to a very abrupt end, and I finished the book feeling confused. I think that there should have been a lot more substance to the story. However, there was definitely a good idea here. I would have appreciated character insight, context, or just *more* in terms of the writing. Rather than being an outstanding/notable piece, it was kind of just there. Adding a bit more description or detail here and there would have made this a 5-star review.

Very clever! The use of knitting as a narrative tool is inspired, the colourful wool allows us to see the urgency and thin line between security and displacement. The rebuilding metaphor with multiple spools, colours and help from a range of other characters is beautiful.

I love how the illustrations interact with photo-realistic wool!

This book is beautiful, powerful and important in today's world.

This is a very cute book, It appears the translation hasn’t been 100% completed, so hopefully that is taken care of before it is released.

I love the concept of the story and the illustrations using yarn to create parts of the pictures.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to review a copy of this book.
