Lester's Dreadful Sweaters

Lester's family is about to welcome a cousin named Clara, a mysterious visitor who arrives with a knitting project in mind. She is determined to make him sweaters, and the results are, to put it kindly, unfortunate. Lester faces a small dilemma: how can he wear garments he dislikes without wounding the feelings of the cousin who made them? Wearing something ridiculous is not a comfortable prospect, but neither is hurting someone who has worked so hard. The story looks at kindness, family, and the careful art of accepting a gift you would rather not have. Its bright, cheerful pages turn on one awkward question and one generous answer.
