A gentle picture book about not giving up, trusting yourself, and following your own path!

In Empty-Handed, we knit, unknit, and knit again. On each page, an attempt to make someone happy… followed by disappointment. Yet Empty-Handed never loses heart. Until, at last, the others – awkward but well-meaning – come back to help fix what they have undone… A tender and clever story about perseverance, resourcefulness, and learning to live together. Carried by the rhythm of a refrain, this is a child-sized tale, as funny as it is true. Perfect for early shared reading.
