Last week at Kirkus, I wrote about Deborah Hopkinson’s Knit Your Bit: A World War I Story (Putnam, February 2013), illustrated by Steven Guarnaccia. That link is here. Up above, I’ve got one full spread from the book — for those of you who want to take a brief peek inside.

Enjoy, and see you on Sunday.

It’s so nice to get a WWI story for once. And a knitting boy: win!
