Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Lovely, lovely book. Very simple - follows the rhythm of the "This is the House Jack Built" rhyme, but shares the process of having sheep, shearing, carding, spinning, dying, weaving wool with a pioneer family. The illustrations are lushious woodcuts - I love Ashley Wolff illustrations so guess I'm a bit partial. All you wool lovers will enjoy it, I think.

Another Wolff fan here! Thanks for the suggestion, Mary--I'll check the library for this one right away.
