Soomi is a cute little girl eager to wear her new sweater to school. The sweater is too big, but her mother pins it up when Soomi insists. However, a thread starts to unravel from the sleeve and grows into a big, round hole. Her friends try to help her fix it in vain.

Soomi is sad and dejected. Her mother fixes it up nice and good, and Soomi learns to wait and grow up before she wears the sweater again. The story, as such, is quite simple. The illustrations are a bit rough but lively and cheerful. I loved Soomi’s tiny fountain that moves as she does.

There’s diversity in illustrations, which was good to see. The book is for kids aged 4 and above, and there isn’t anything else that memorable in the story. It’s a cute one, though.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Clavis Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.
